I am excited to be travelling to southeast asia today to serve with our mission partner, Farthest Corners. So, please welcome my friend and fellow writer, Debbie Harris, with her beautiful offering of poetry as the new year begins. Our God is able!
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen
Jude 1:24-25 (KJV)
He is able
no matter what the dream
He is able!
He is able
no matter how impossible
circumstances may seem
He is able!
He is able to take any heart
and because of the Cross
make all things new!
He is able!
He is able
to part the Red Sea
and see you safely
and victoriously through!
He is able!
He is able
to take the broken pieces of any life
and turn its pains into a masterful stained glass
window where every crack and every stain is filled
with the stunning beauty and radiant light of Jesus Christ!
He is able!
He is able
to calm any storm in any sea
He is able!
He is able
to give us boldness, courage, and strength
like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!
He is able!
He is able
to hear every whisper
and treat every tear
as an urgent prayer.
He is able!
He is able
to stop the mouths of lions
in any lion’s den.
He is able!
He is able
to give us His most
excellent and precious spirit
to lead us in all our ways
in these most challenging days.
He is able!
He is able
to give us Heavenly wisdom
at any moment of any day
He is able!
He is able
to turn any nation
back to Christ again
He is able!
He is able
to roll away any stone
He is able!!
He is able
to go before us,
to go behind us,
to work within us,
to be with us,
to surround us,
to support us,
to still and calm every anxiety and every fear
with His most tender care!!
He is able!
Is this not the angelic cadence of triumph
that is heard in heaven everywhere?
Can you hear it?
the glory of the eternal song echoes
through streets of gold
and permeates New Jerusalem!!
is this not the heavenly chorus angels’ sing
midst the rush of gemstone studded wings
around the throne room of the King of Kings?
He is able!
He is able!
He is able!
He is able!
And He alone
is worthy of
all our praise,
all our worship
and all our adoration!!
