Have you ever been so overwhelmed by the Lord that you’ve broken into spontaneous worship?
That’s what happened to Paul halfway through his letter to the Ephesians.
He’s just finished praying for them to deepen in their understanding of the dimensions of God’s love for us.
He’s so amazed that he launches into worship:
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”
Beloved, we serve a God who is limitless!
His power to transform lives: limitless.
His power to heal: limitless.
His power to redeem: limitless!
Our problem is that we think too small.
We have a small view of His power and more importantly, His love for us.
When are resting in His love, we realize that we truly have all the we will ever need.
The Lord is our Shepherd we have no lack.
He wants to work in us exceedingly beyond all that we could ask or imagine.
Those who are willing to empty of their own self-will and align with God’s will are in for a wild ride.
Our God is the One who feed over 5,000 people on just 5 loaves and 2 fish.
We need to stop leaning on our own understanding which tends to ask small of our big God.
Instead, we need to ask Him what He wants to do, listen to His reply, and step out in faith and ask big in accordance with what He shows us.
Most parents love to give gifts to their children.
Imagine how much joy God gets from answering us biggly.
Our part is to rest in His amazing love, trust Him to show us the straight path, and then ask big knowing that our big God delights in showing off for His kids.
Beloved, this is not about asking to consume what He gives us on the lusts of our flesh. Jesus came to give us life abundantly.
Let’s set aside unbelief and scarcity and instead ask in alignment with the One who delights in blowing us away with His answers.
We serve the most amazing God! Ask BIG!
Blessings!
