Superabundanter | Immeasurably

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us," - Ephesians 3:20

 

In Ephesians 3: 14-21, Paul prays for the church at Ephesus. Paul prays that they may experience the fullness of Christ's love (v. 17-19). In closing, Paul glorifies God "who can do so much more than we pray or think, as it turns out from the power that is at work in us! (v 20).

What is our attitude when we pray? When we pray, we often let our experiences limit our prayers. We are often trapped in situations that we think cannot change such as being bound by our bad habits that we think cannot be changed, or by a bad character of other people we cannot change. As time goes by and as more and more of our prayers unanswered, we think that the situations can no longer be changed. But Paul says that this idea is completely untrue. By the power of His power that is at work in us, God is able to do much more than we could ever imagine or expect.

Let's allow ourselves to take some moments in the presence of God who is so much greater than what we can imagine or comprehend. Believing that God can accomplish more than we ask or imagine. We take care not to let God's work be limited by any narrow boundaries that we set.
