Thursday's in the Truth: Immeasurable More

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. Ephesians 3:20-21

What if we really believed this verse?  What if we believed that we serve a God who is able?  I talk with women all the time and constantly hear disbelief and uncertainty as they talk about what is happening in their life.  This world is tough and we all deal with crazy things, but we serve a God who is able.  We serve a God who is bigger than our past mistakes, our fears, our failures, our pains and our futures.  We, as women, allow ourselves to believe the lies of the devil daily.  We believe we will never get out of our current situations.  We believe our past will define our future, we believe we are trapped. 

It’s not true!  God is ABLE.  And not just able, He is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine.  Do you even wonder what we miss out on because we ask for the little things?  We don’t believe God could possibly to the immeasurable, so we stick with the safe option; the easier choice that we feel is attainable, that we can wrap our minds around.  We put God in a box instead of believing HE is ABLE. 

This verse has become my life verse.  I don’t want to miss out on all the good God has for me, because I don’t understand how it will all work out.  I want to seek God and ask for the BIG dreams, not just the obtainable ones that compute with my little brain. 

What situations are you in currently where you feel trapped, where you do not see an end in sight, where you have no idea how anything is going to turn out?  What do you need to be asking God for AND BELIEVING?  Where situation do you need God to show up big time in?  Are you asking?  Are you believing?

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, 

the door will be opened.  Matthew 7:7-8
