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,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations,
for ever and ever!
Amen.
Eph 3:20-21
Think about the most powerful thing in the universe… You may have thought of a fierce hurricane, the blistering sun, an erupting volcano or even the lethal atom bomb. But combine all the power from these things together and we still do not have a complete picture of the fullness of God’s power. Even what we can comprehend of His power, is only a miniscule fragment of its totality. God is ALL POWERFUL! Omnipotent… Think about it for a minute, try to wrap your head around that one. Even what we can imagine of God’s power is just a small glimpse, and some of us have extreme imaginations!
Now… God’s power is at work within us! WE have that incredible, unstoppable, incomprehensible power working in us. And once we realise that, nothing will be able to stop us because we have the power of God working through us. However, that is the key, once we realise it! If we don’t understand that it is by God’s strength that we can do everything, we can’t do anything. We have to realise that the ‘immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine’ is based on the ‘according to his power that is at work within is’. If we don’t recognise that it is God’s power at work, then we will miss out on seeing the impossible happen.
Finally, all of this is for a purpose, and no, it’s not so that we can see the impossible happen. It’s for the glory of God! So He can be glorified by what happens through us. People will see that we are doing the impossible and realise that it is not us making it happen, but there is someone higher, bigger, more powerful than anything on the planet behind it all… GOD! It is for His glory!
God, I will never be able to fully grasp how powerful You are. Yet, I know that Your power is at work through me, and when I understand how powerful I am because of you, nothing will be able to stop me. And it is all so that You can be glorified! People will know that it is nothing to do with me, but everything to do with You… I praise You, God!
