Today’s Encouragement is, “Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us…” Ephesians 3:20 AMP
(This is from the Amplified version, where the original Greek language’s various meanings enrich our understanding of the writer’s full intentions. Brevity is not the objective of the Amplified Version; clarity is!)
Superabundantly More –
Even the casual observer would acknowledge that God can do infinitely more than we could ask or even imagine… of course, He can. He is God! He is Omnipotent – all-powerful! But please don’t stop reading. Notice the final thought… “according to His Power… That is at work… Within us!”
Rewind, Reread… His power – at work – within us
It’s relatively easy to acknowledge that God can do anything. We imagine that- “He’s ’up there’ in heaven, in another dimension, realm, or existence where He is unlimited…” but is He limited here on earth? Not at all!
And, as difficult as it is to conceive… This power, His superabundant power, IS, now, already… at work… within us!
Dismiss it if you must. Embrace it if you dare.
By faith, ask Him to clarify, explain, teach, and demonstrate.
He isn’t timid or proud; He is wise and understanding. He will not reveal His power to us to show off or to impress, but only to bless!
Father God, give us a growing, learning Faith. Help us trust that You are leading us ever nearer to You in an ever-deepening relationship. Move in us, Lord, as You know best. Help us be willing.
