God Is Far Greater

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

 

Ephesians 3:20-21

 

We see in the verses above that Paul repeats a petition he makes for the believers in a letter to the church in Ephesus. In his prayer, he asks God to give his brothers and sisters:

 

  • Strength in power through the Holy Spirit
  • The dwelling of God in their hearts through faith
  • Being rooted and grounded in love
  • Having comprehension and personal knowledge of the love of God
  • Knowing all the fullness of God


It is after making all of these requests that Paul reminds his readers that their God is the one who can do "far more abundantly than all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20).

 

At times we tend to forget that God is a God of unlimited possibilities, which leads us to putting limits on ourselves and what He is leading us in.
