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!

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach.  Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
