You Can

 

1 Thessalonians 5:24 - Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 

There was a time in a previous job that we went through a training program called, “Can Do.” I have learned that most of the effective training programs have some elements of Biblical teaching in them. Unfortunately, many lack the necessary first principle of being “Born Again.”

After we have trusted Christ as our Savior, He comes to indwell us in the Person of the Holy Spirit. Of the Holy Spirit Jesus said, John 14:26 - But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

Because the Holy Spirit indwells us we can truly have the “Can Do,” attitude. Because by the Holy Spirit’s power we can do all things as taught in Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 

We see there that “through Christ,” we can do whatever the Lord calls us to do. Often our first reaction to the Holy Spirit’s promptings is to think, “I can’t do that.” Then we are reminded of the fact that “we can,” according to the Word of God.

We just must admit that we need the Lord’s help in whatever He leads us to do. We can be sure that He is always faithful to fulfill His Word as we walk in obedience to Him.
