GOD IS STILL ABLE TODAY (1)

God was not only able in days past, but He is still able today. Once Jesus rebuked some Jews who thought they deserved special treatment because Abraham was their ancestor. Jesus said, “And do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father ’; for I say to you, that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham” (Matthew 3:9; Luke 3:8). God had been able in the Old Testament, and He was still able! An author enjoyed visiting an old violin teacher because of his positive outlook on life. Once when he was visiting, he asked the old teacher, “What’s the good news for today?” The teacher tapped a tuning fork, which gave off a clear note. “That’s the good news,” he said. “That’s the musical note ‘A.’ It was ‘A’ yesterday. It is ‘A’ today. And it will be ‘A’ a thousand years from now.” The goodnews of our lesson is that God was able yesterday, He is able today, and He will be able ten thousand years from now!
