He is Able

  “Now to Him who is able” Jude 24

     Two quick things come to mind when I read these few words. One is the great hymn, “He is Able to Deliver Thee.” This hymn fits well with the previous verse about saving others from sin while preserving us from the same. “He is able to deliver thee, He is able to deliver thee; Though by sin oppressed, go to Him for rest; Our God is able to deliver thee.” (William Ogden – 1887) We all need this message as an ointment for our souls. God has the power to give us victory over living a corrupt life of willful sin.

     The second thought that comes to me is from Ephesians 3.  “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him beglory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” This is a promise, an assurance, that God is able to sustain us in life, deliver us from sin, and empower us for service even when we are humanly weak. Remember, He is able.

Father, Thank You for being able and willing to sustain Your children. Amen
