Beyond Our Ability! Wednesday, November 24, 2010

Reading: I Peter 4:11, If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

It’s been said many, many times that a true superstar is the one that rises to a whole different level than anyone else when the game is on the line. It’s as if something takes over to elevate them to a whole new level, leaving all the other players standing there simply observing the performance. I’m sure that a variety of names of sports heroes are running through your mind. If you are a Christian, you have those same abilities, not on a sports court or field, rather on the field of life. You have been equipped with a button labeled “turbo superstar” which is powered by the ability the God of the universe has supplied you. The question is, why do we often times rely on our own ability, our own power to be a “regular player”? I’m sure our Father gets frustrated standing by watching us attempt in our own strength something that He knows, with His ability, we could do so much better. When we finally do perform with His ability, the opportunity arises for Him to get the glory in all things, because, men, the glory and dominion belong to Him. It is HIS to possess. He is the only worthy and deserving one of such glory and praise. Let Him do the work today.

What are some thing s that you will be doing today that you will do with the ability that God supplies?


How will you be sure to perform with His abilities today?


How can you give God the glory through what you do today?
