I CAN & I WILL b/c GOD CAN & GOD WILL

Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?  The Lord asked this question of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis 18:14 when He promised that Sarah would have a child even though such a thing seemed impossible since Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 years old (Genesis 17:17).  Of course NOTHING is impossible with God.  The entire world changes at His word.  And the Lord fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah just as He promised when Isaac was born. 

Our brother the Apostle Paul wrote about God’s power in Romans 8:31 and said, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”  God can do anything.  He can do the small things.  He can do the great things.  God certainly fulfills all His promises!  Always has.  Always will.

So when the Lord says in Luke 6:38; “Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom.  For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you” He means it.  And He always delivers on His promises.  Just trust and obey and see for yourself.  What “measure” are you using, a teaspoon, a shovel, or a dump truck?  God promises to use the “same measure back to you.”

The Lord always comes through on His promises.  We must open our hearts to trust Him and obey Him and be available for all the possibilities for our lives, our family, and the church.  We must be “opportunity conscious” and take full advantage of every possibility.  We must get ready and stay ready for God’s blessings. 

Look at 1 Corinthians 15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”  Are you?  When you trust and obey the Lord, He will fulfill His promise.

Look at II Corinthians 9:8: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”  God’s promises never fail.

Then Ephesians 3:20: “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 be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.  Amen.”  Again, God is able. 

In the church and in the world we have: Sister “I can’t” and Brother “I won’t” along with Brother “I intend to but never do” and Sister “I will as soon as I get a round2it.”  Fortunately we also have our Sister “I will” and Brother “I can.”  I so very thankful for them.  I can and I will because God can and God will.
