Pushing That Boat

my cousin, Greg, 1960





Jesus said, "Do you believe I am able to do this?" (Matt. 9:28)

Watching his daddy waterski when my cousin was a little kid, Greg bragged, "Wook at my daddy pushin' that boat!"

The Apostle Paul wrote to young Timothy: "I know Him whom I have believed with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of His deity, and I am persuaded beyond any doubt that He is able..." (2 Tim. 1:12 Amplified Bible)

Are you in Christ, beloved? Then you have a heavenly Father who is able!

"Able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." (Eph. 3:20)

"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." (2 Cor. 9:8)

"Able to aid those who are tempted." (Heb. 2:18)

"Able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since [Jesus] always lives to make intercession for them." (Heb. 7:25)

"Able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy." (Jude 1:24)

"Able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day." (2 Tim. 1:12)
