Capable

Capable

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:13, NIV

If you’ve been reading your Bible, you know that there isn’t one story in the Bible where God called someone to complete a task or walk out a mission that was beyond their capability. Not one. David defeated Goliath. Gideon victoriously overtook the massive army that opposed him. Peter walked on the water. Countless stories and yours is the same. The hard part is remembering that you’re capable of running the race God has for you . . . not someone else’s race or the impossible standards the world or you yourself has placed on your shoulders.

My friend, let me encourage you to trust that God has given you every tool you need to not just get through your day but to set an example in strength and competence. When you partner with Jesus, you’ll witness His supernatural invade your natural. When that happens, your limitations are where His abilities begin and nothing is too hard for Him.

Isn’t it comforting to know that the One who knows everything you’ll face has already determined that you’re capable to accomplish the task? Today, lean into His guidance, trust His provision, and show up trusting that His strength in your weakness is more than you’ll ever need. My friend, you are capable because God has equipped you. Has God ever shorted you?
