God is Able- He Won't Fail

...the blind men came to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes Lord." Then He touched their eyes saying, "According to your faith let it be to you."  (Matt.9:28) 
God can do anything; He is able to do the impossible for those who through faith believe. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him; those who come to Him must believe that He exists and is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him. (Heb.11:6)  He is faithful to keep His word and all of His promises are yes and amen.  In these days of so much trouble, it is critical for maintaining a sense of balance and peace to believe that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that works within.  (Eph.3:20-21)  Everything begins and ends with God; He is the creator and sustainer of the world, so no matter how deep the pit, how dark the night, how horrible the situation, we can be assured that He is able to keep us in perfect peace amid a hostile or unstable environment. Day by day we find strength to face every challenge with grace and confidence by trusting in His wisdom and guidance. He gives more grace as the trials of life grow greater and to added afflictions, He adds multiplied mercy and peace.  All things are possible to them that believe; there is nothing too difficult for the Lord.  To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy-to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
(Jude 1:24-25)
