Good morning! Breakfast is served.
Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
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,
Yesterday we looked at the fact that God is both willing and able towards you. He wills to do you good and has the ability to back it up as well.
To what degree?
According to Ephesians 3:20, “ immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine!”
· Other translations say, “beyond what you can dream” and “ above what you can imagine or ever think.” I like the New King James version. It says “exceedingly abundantly.” What great words they are- exceedingly, abundantly. Those are words of overflow.
· The key point to grasp is that He can do so much more than you can imagine! Face the truth, God is not the same size as your imagination. He goes far beyond it.
· I am so glad that it does not say that God is able to do what we imagine He can in our wildest dreams. it says He is the God of “and beyond.” He goes BEYOND what we have the potential to imagine. When you use your imagination concerning what He can do for you and take it to the furthest point, you stretch your imagination till it creaks. God meets you there and says, “Is that it or do you want some more?”.
· Don’t downsize or limit God today by thinking He can only do what you imagine. The end of your wildest dreaming is often His starting point!
· Dream big concerning His plans for you and take your imagination to its boundaries concerning what He is able to do in and with your life but then stop and remind yourself He goes far beyond.
Imagine what Abraham, Moses, Gideon and David thought when they looked back over their lives when they were old. I am certain they would have looked back and thought to themselves, “That life I just lived was exceedingly, abundantly far above any life I could have dreamed for myself.
I pray that will be your declaration and not just in your old age, but as you look back each and every year!
Believe big because He is dreaming big for you!
Have a great day.
