YOU CAN DO IT

YOU CAN DO IT
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”— 1 Cor. 4:2

We can all think of things we can’t do – things we want to do and things that need to be done.  We have a desire, but regardless of how hard we try, we just can’t do it.  As discouraging as that can be, there is good news. In the first place it isn’t your duty to meet every need. Secondly,when it comes to what is most important,  you can do it!

When I say, “You can do it” I’m not talking “the little engine that could” mindset, or “the power of positive thinking.”  This is not a locker room pep talk before a big game nor a plea to “tie a knot and hang on.”  I’m talking about something every Christian can actually do, without a doubt.  And it’s not just “something” – it’s the most important thing.  Understanding this is of major importance.

Multitudes are greatly discouraged and many are guilt-ridden because they can’t do certain things.  Some have a great desire to do certain things for God, but they can’t.  Their limitations can be of various sorts – poor health, lack of talent, lack of funds, or lack of opportunity, but regardless of the reason they feel like a failure and are frustrated.  They know their desire is noble and they can’t understand why God doesn’t enable them to fulfill their dream.

If that describes you, please consider this.  Regardless of what you can’t do, when it comes to the most important thing in life – “You can do it!”  It doesn’t make any difference how old, poor, weak or uneducated you are – you can do it!  You can be faithful to God! And no one can be faithful to God and a failure. You can’t be both. Every faithful Christian is a success in life!– HDS
