And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. (Romans 9:8, ESV)

When Joshua saw the towering walls of Jericho and an untrained army he led called the people of Israel, his message to them was and God is able.

When Daniel was dealt the unfair choice of praying to God or dying for his God, he chose to pray because he believed and God is able.

Whatever you face today, whatever lies in front of you that you know about…and whatever you will face that you had no idea was coming…and God is able.
