Throughout the Bible we hear men and women echo the statement made by Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: “Our God is able!” Maybe the words each person used were not identical to those found in Daniel 3:17. But the truth came forth clearly that God was able to deliver!
If we asked Abraham, Moses, David, Luke, John, or Paul about God, all of them would agree that our God is able! Hannah, Deborah, Mary, and Martha would also join their voices in the glad refrain, “Our God is able!”
The God of the past is still the same today. In Malachi He says, “I am the Lord, I change not” (Mal. 3:6). Since the God of the past was able, the God of today is able. He’s the same God.
God can turn tragedy around for our good. God can turn tears into smiles of gladness. He turns mourning into dancing and sorrow into joy (Ps. 30:11).
Our God is able. He delivered the three Hebrew children from the fiery furnace. What can God deliver us from? Anything that comes against us! Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) says, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.” No god is as big as our God.
When we’re in the middle of a trial—when we’re being tossed to and fro in the storms of life—we sometimes fail to look for God’s deliverance. We forget that He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28). Sometimes all we can hear is howling wind, and all we can see are tossing waves. We must learn to focus our eyes on God and His ability.
God does not bring the storms of life, but He is able to deliver us from them. He is able to make our requests a reality. He is able to take our dreams and make them come to pass in our lives.
