He is able!

"When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, 'Do you believe that I am able to do this?' They said to him, 'Yes, Lord.' Then he touched their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith be it done to you.'" - Matthew 9:28-29
As the baseball season draws near to the end of each season, many fans will show up to games with signs that read "You gotta believe". They want to bring a positive and encouraging spirit to their team. The idea is simple; if the team really believes they can win... they will. But, in the end no matter how much they believe, they don't necessarily win.
When the Lord asked the question, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" He was focusing on their faith in Him. You see, belief is only as significant as the One in whom we believe. To successfully jump the hurdles of life, or consistently achieve spiritual victories "You gotta believe". But, your belief needs to be placed in the One who is able.
When you need a win in the big game of life where is your faith my friend? Saying "you gotta believe" will never be enough all by itself. Life changing power can only come from the life giving Savior. You "... can do all things through him who strengthens" you, when you believe that He is able.
