God’s Immeasurable Power

God’s Immeasurable Power..

.
The apostle Paul, nearing the end of a profound prayer for the believers in Ephesus, bursts forth with a declaration of God’s boundless ability. In Ephesians 3:20-21, he paints a picture of a God whose power transcends the limits of our human understanding, a God who can do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.”

These verses are not just a comforting thought; they are a powerful invitation to expand our vision of God and His working in our lives and in the world.

Think about the times you’ve approached God with a request. Perhaps it was for healing, for guidance, for provision, or for a breakthrough in a challenging situation. Our prayers, though sincere, are often framed by our limited perspectives and experiences. We ask within the confines of what we deem possible, what we can logically conceive.

But Paul declares that God operates on a completely different scale. His power is not restricted by our capacity to ask or even to imagine. The phrase “immeasurably more” suggests a gap so vast that our minds struggle to grasp it.

It speaks of a God whose resources are infinite, whose creativity is boundless, and whose love extends far beyond our comprehension. This incredible ability is not some distant, theoretical concept. Paul anchors it firmly in the present reality: “…according to his power that is at work within us.”

The Holy Spirit, the very power of God, dwells within every believer. This means that the same power that raised Christ from the dead, the same power that created the universe, is actively working in our lives. It is through this indwelling power that God is able to accomplish the “immeasurably more.”

This truth should fill us with both awe and hope. Awe, because we serve a God of such magnificent power and glory. Hope, because our limitations do not limit Him. The challenges we face, the obstacles that seem insurmountable, are not too great for the God who works within us. He can orchestrate circumstances, open doors, and bring about solutions in ways we could never have conceived.

The ultimate purpose of this extraordinary power is not merely to answer our individual prayers, but to bring glory to God “in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” God’s magnificent work in our lives and through the church serves as a testament to His character and His love. It is a continuous unfolding of His glory that echoes through time.

Let us trust in the power that resides within us, knowing that God is not confined by our limitations. Let our lives be a canvas upon which He can display His immeasurable greatness, bringing Him glory now and for all eternity.

Heavenly Father, we stand in awe of Your boundless power and love. We confess that often, our prayers are small, limited by our own understanding and fears. Forgive us for the times we have underestimated Your ability to work in our lives and in the world. We thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit, the power that dwells within us, enabling us to experience Your “immeasurably more.” Help us to cast off the limitations of our own thinking and to dare to believe in Your limitless possibilities. May our lives and the life of Your church be a constant display of Your glory, now and forevermore. Amen.

God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
