ON JANUARY 10, 2003, a young man named Terry Drier was in the water twenty hours after his boat had capsized. He gave a valiant effort at survival, although he later confessed he felt certain that he was going to die. After that long while, a helicopter located him and sent word to a ship on its way to the Persian Gulf. The name of the ship was the USS Comforter. This vessel was on its way to do battle and paused to deliver one man. They went out of their way to save one man and there was a doctor on board who nursed him back to health. Many people today are treading water, and they don’t know how much longer they can hang in there. People are tired and feel like all is lost. All we must do is look up and see that our Deliverer is hovering nearby. He knows exactly where deliverance can be found. The God of all comfort will make sure that the comfort we need comes our way.

Have you ever needed someone who was truly able to help—someone who not only wanted to help but had the power to do something about your situation? We serve a God who is not limited by time, strength, resources, or knowledge. Jesus Christ is ABLY qualified to handle every situation in your life. Whether it’s saving your soul, lifting you when you fall, or giving you more than you could imagine—He is able.

This lesson is built on eight powerful scriptures that show what Christ is able to do for you.
