I Can’t or I Can

“I can’t do it!” Have you ever felt that way?

Maybe you feel that way about your job, marriage, eating healthy, or fulfilling a ministry responsibility.

Maybe you know what you need to do, but don’t have the energy or stamina so you say, “I can’t.”

If you feel that way, you’re not alone. I wish I had a penny for every time I’ve felt inadequate or incapable.

When we feel that way, it helps to remember the wonderful truth in Hebrews 13:20-21. God is able. He can equip us. “Now the God of peace, … equip you in every good thing to do His will…”

Yes, when faced with seemingly impossible responsibilities, we may feel that we can’t fulfill them. In those times, we must remember Who is in us and that God can and will equip us to do His will.

We can say as the apostle Paul did, “…not that I am adequate in myself, but my adequacy comes from God,” 2 Corinthians 3:5.

Heavenly Father, thank You that You EQUIP us to do Your will. Help us be mindful of Your presence and yielded to Your Spirit.
