He knows you are capable!

As a follower of Christ we often think (talk) about the faith that we have in The Lord, the knowledge that we have of his Greatness. When we think about this faith we often consider the fact that He brings us in or out of situations on His time when he knows that we are ready. It's something that I think about often as I try to find patience in the pace that my life is proceeding. Sometimes that can be difficult. We want things now, we don't want to wait. But as this is often my thinking, I tend to forget about the situations that he has put me in (or in some cases delivered me from). I am the father of 3 of the most beautiful kids in the world. He has given me the responsibility of being their father. He said, "Brian, I know you are capable." He has put me (yes the divorced guy) on the path towards my calling as a Marriage and Family Therapist so that I can speak life and healing into the relationships of others. He said, "Brian, I know you are capable." I am a leader in both children and youth ministries. He said, "Brian, I know you are capable."
There are, no doubt, a lot of things that you as a follower are waiting for Him to bless you with. And as you wait you are trying to figure out what it is that he is changing in you before he provides. It's easy to just say, "Lord, I am thankful for what you have provided", and actually feel blessed about it. But maybe it's time for you to look at the situations that he has provided for you, and not just realize that you are blessed, but really understand that he is truly saying, "I know that you are capable!"
I hope that this post gives you an understanding and confidence in what The Lord truly thinks about you. It's not just about what he may or may not provide, but what he already has!
