Charles Stanley Daily Devotional 5 August 2026 (In Touch) Wednesday Message
Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Our God Is Able
SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 3:20-21
Jesus knew what it meant to have limited financial resources, to have those closest to Him question His actions, and to be rejected by those He sought to serve (Matthew 8:20; Mark 3:21; John 6:66-67). Yet in spite of such opposition, He didn’t let circumstances affect His trust in the Father.
We’re called to follow Jesus’ example by believing that God is able to do what He’s promised. For instance, Hebrews 7:25 assures salvation for whoever comes to God through Jesus. The Father will pardon everybody who has genuine faith in His Son and will make each one a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). No matter what trouble a person may have caused, the Lord invites him or her to draw near in faith and receive the gift of everlasting life. God also promises to establish in truth everyone who trusts in Him (Romans 16:25). Through His Word and Spirit, we start to see things as our Father does, which helps us understand what pleases Him.
By believing that God keeps His promises, we grow stronger in our faith and gain peace. Hardships that would once have thrown us off course lose their power. Hope replaces discouragement, and trust overcomes doubt. Next time trouble comes, focus on God’s promises and ability to care for you.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Isaiah 54-57
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Jesus is our greatest example of unwavering trust in the Father through every circumstance.
