God Is Able

GOD IS ABLE!!

“God is Able

He will never fail

He is almighty God

Greater than all we seek

Greater than all we ask

He has done great things

Lifted up, He defeated the grave

Raised to life, our God is able

In His name, we overcome

For the Lord, our God is able

God is with us

God is on our side

He will make a way

Far above all we know

Far above all we hope

He has done great things"

This song by Hillsong has been ringing in my ears for the last few weeks. God is able. I don’t know if before this whole “year thing” I would have ever considered this to be true but now I can see it becoming more and more of a reality in my life. God is able, He can, and He will…only if we believe. Looking back on just this year alone, God is able. He took a confused, searching, insecure girl and turned my life upside down, only to say, “I have so much more for you than you can even imagine.” The whole concept of trust did not come easily for me. It is hard enough, sometimes, to trust people you come in contact with everyday, so having to say I trust this God who loves me, died for me, and rose to defeat death…for me, but oh, I’ve never seen Him, never come into contact with Him, and never heard His voice was somewhat difficult. What’s the saying “hindsight is 20-20?” You see, as I look back and see how far away I was from even caring about God and what He had planned for me, I can do nothing but trust and believe in Him because of how far He has taken me away from the pit I was in for so long. He waited for me. He took me little by little through the pain I had inflicted on myself and washed it away with His love. So, yes, I believe with all my heart that God is Able! 

God can take this waiting period (which everyone knows I’m not exactly fond of waiting) and turn it into a gift. Yep – I said it. Waiting is a gift – Why? Because there are too many things me and God need to work out to become who He wants me to be! So, for that, I am thankful! Waiting for what you might ask… and I can say with humbled certainty that I don’t know, but God does. How do I know… he told me… and you J “For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

I don’t know about you, but it’s always nice to feel hope in situations that are out of your reach. So again… I will wait. With the hope that God is able to do whatever He has planned, and that plan is greater than I can imagine!! How exciting! God is able. He can. He will.
