Abundantly More




Beyond All Imagination

Open my eyes so that I may contemplate wonderful things from Your Instruction. Psalm 119:18


Read Ephesians 3:20-21

Paul says, “Now to Hi who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think…” (Ephesians 3:20). Of all the passages in Ephesians, this one is probably quoted the most. The New International Version translation says “more than all we ask or imagine.” That word imagine grabs your attention. Because most of us have a pretty good imagination. And God can do abundantly and immeasurably more than all we can imagine. God must be pretty amazing because I can dream up some pretty crazy stuff. But where did my imagination come from? It came from Him. He gives us our imagination. And He can do immeasurably more than anything we can ask or think or imagine. But no matter what I can dream up this passage is about God’s omnipotent power. God’s power is more than anything I can fathom. None of us.

These two verses (3:20-21) Paul wants to remind his listeners that God’s mercy and grace are all the magnified in light of His infinite power. And all glory is due Him.

The same power that raised Christ from the dead now lives in us. We must never forget that.

Write out Ephesians 3:20-21 and God for the blessing of your imagination and praise Him that He is infinitely greater and more powerful than anything we can ask or think or imagine.

I Pray that God would give you boldness to proclaim His Word. Have an intentional day!

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

31 Days - Day 21

Today, I'm wondering where the time's going and what will I post?! My brain is on empty. So, what comes to mind at this time is Mandisa's song "Overcomer" which has been playing on the radio a lot lately. Jesus said in John16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Matthew Henry's Commentary on this verse: He comforts them with a promise of peace in him, by virtue of his victory over the world, whatever troubles they might meet with in it ( John 16:33 ): “ These things have I spoken, that in me you might have peace ; and if you have it not in me you will not have it at all, for in the world you shall have tribulation ; you must expect no other, and yet may cheer up yourselves, for I have overcome the world .” Observe: 1. The end Christ aimed at in preaching this farewell sermon to his disciples: That in him they might have peace . He did n...
