Immeasurably More

Just a word of encouragement as you head into the weekend...


God is able to do EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT YOU COULD ASK OR THINK ACCORDING TO THE POWER AT WORK IN US. You've got Scripture to back that up. Isn't good to know that our Heavenly Father is not limited to our finite thinking, nor is He beyond our wildest imaginations. I feel sorry for those who believe that they have God in a box. Restrained. Limited. Falling prey to our whims and emotions. Lost (in a sense) in our unbelief. Let me say it out loud for all to hear: GOD IS WITHOUT LIMITS!!!

Always remember the state of the churches that Paul was seeking to encourage. Remember their difficulties. Understand the situations. Discover the same Heavenly Father in your own life. The picture that accompanies the blog for today uses the phrase "immeasurably more." However, I want to share with you from the text that I have memorized.

He is able to do (you have to see the progression)...

Exceedingly
Exceedingly Abundantly
Exceedingly Abundantly Above
Exceedingly Abundantly Above All
Exceedingly Abundantly Above All that we could ask or think
Exceedingly Abundantly Above All that we could ask or think according to the Power at work in us.

Paul is trying, in every way possible, to help the church understand that God is way better than we have imagined. Can you allow yourself to think this way today? Let your imagination run wild. Stir up the testimony of the Lord in your own life. Discover His fullness in Jesus. Enjoy just how REAL He can be in you and for you. This is a wonderful adventure.

Have a blessed weekend.
