Who Is Able?

 As we continue to face this global crisis ushered in by the Coronavirus, I can’t help but notice that God is not being consulted in higher offices. With all their education, intelligence, and wisdom no one has felt the need to call a global prayer meeting. 
 Yet with their best efforts our leaders have been unable to stop the spread of the Coronavirus  Their predictions keep changing, the facts on how the virus can be contracted continues to evolve. Hospitals have no more rooms for patients. They are running out of lifesaving equipment, and many of our healthcare professionals have lost their lives trying to protect us. They are telling us not to visit the hospital if we think we've contracted it!?  So where do we go for treatment?  Who can protect us, who can heal us? Who is able to stop the progression of this deadly virus? 

God is Able!  

The one and only Person that can deliver us is not being mentioned as a weapon to fight against this pandemic. Yes, churches are praying, believers are consulting God in our communities, or in our space of influence for Christ. We are trying to stand in the gap, but many of us are already surrendered to Christ.  However, our nation is not in the correct posture.   The Word of God says every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that I am Lord; Romans 14:11. Our country is prideful, and we boldly display on our currency “In God we Trust”.  But our actions are not backing this up. 

Politicians want to be Heroes. But they are not capable.  So, we ask the question again. Who is Able? The Word’s resounding response is GOD is ABLE.  Eph. 3:20 says; “Now unto Him Who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think... "  This should cause us to seek. It is a mystery to many, a question that will cause us to look deeper for answers from God, and knock at the door until it is opened.   

He who is Able, has an extensive resume. A proven track record that backs Him up! God is our Creator, God is our Healer, God is our Deliver, God paid our ransom, God gave us His only Son. God delivered the Children of Israel across the red sea on dry ground. God protected His people from the plagues of Egypt. God raises the dead. God makes the lame walk, and the dumb talk. God provides for every living creature big and small.  God can do more than anything you or I will ever think to ask Him! But first we’ve got to ask Him. We must trust His track record. Yes, people have died. People are dying. But people are also surviving. God’s hand of mercy still covers us.  He is standing and waiting to be acknowledged.  We need to deliberately and diligently seek Him. 

The one Who is Able, has thoughts and ways that are far above ours. You can take the smartest leader in the world, and put them with the smartest scientist, the most intelligent economists and strategists and they still will not be able to accomplish what God can.  The Bible says, “for as high as the heaven is above the earth, so are my thoughts and ways higher than yours. (Isaiah 55:9) 

 This is a vast distance. None of us can pinpoint where heaven is. We can’t even fathom heaven's location past the universe.  This is why we pray; this is why we consult God. He has answers and solutions that never enter our minds.  

So, who is Able? God is Able, and He wants to work in cooperation with us!
