He is Able...


I love word studies. I have been processing through and dwelling on these verses to be reminded who He is and what He is able to do when life is hard, confusing, uncertain, new; when sin is deceiving, devastating, and destructive, ruining lives and families. I choose to dwell here, because He is ABLE!
I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is ABLE to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.  2 Timothy 1:12
Now to Him who is ABLE to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20
God is ABLE to make all grace abound toward you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, He is ABLE to help those who are tempted. Hebrews 2:18
ABLE to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25
ABLE to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.  Jude 24
'Do you believe that I am ABLE to do this?' They said to Him, 'Yes, Lord.' 'According to your faith let it be to you.'  Matthew 9:28-29
Do you believe He is able? He is. Even when I forget or get discouraged or lose sight from the weight and uncertainities of life are pressing on me. His shoulders are bigger and enough to carry it all. 
The Lord doesn't force Himself upon those who are not receptive to Him. He didn't create us robotic to His every command. He created us for relationship and what is a relationship if one is forced to love without choosing to be in relationship with someone? That's not a relationship. That's slavery. And He has set us free from the mastery and slavery of sin and death and given us new hearts to be free to be His. Do you believe He is able He and life remains such a mystery to you? Tell Him. Ask Him. Seek Him. For He is ABLE to meet you and I am confident that 'He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Philippians 1:6
Dwelling on what you know to be true of the Lord allows you to persevere through any circumstance, any feelings. 
When your faith is tested, by disappointment, discouragement, devestation, look to Him to produce perseverance in you (James 1:3) which builds character (Romans 5:4) and godliness (2 Peter 1:6) that leads to hope that does not disappoint (Romans 5:5) !
What is the foundation of your life built on? The solid, unwavering, unshifting rock of Christ or the unstable shifting sand ideals of the world?
Dwell on what you know to be true of the Lord, start small, seek it in the Bible, speak it, share it, wrestle through it, and see what He does, stirs, and grows in you! He is able. He reigns over all. He is greater.
I'm letting go because He is ABLE. 





"We Exalt Your Name" by Kari Jobe
Spirit come and change the atmosphere  
Convict and open hearts to hear  
The anthems that the angels sing  
The Worship of the King of kings

For Jesus Reigns, Over all He reigns
We exalt Your name, High above the heavens  
We exalt Your name, All of creation sings praise
Your presence fills and satisfies.  
Tears down the walls we hide behind  
Oh, God of every aching heart, we long for You in light and dark

For Jesus Reigns, Over all He reigns

We exalt Your name, High above the heavens 
We exalt Your name, All of creation sings praise
