Good Morning All!!
Ephesians
3:20; “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”
When you were younger, did you use to
imagine about the world? Did you ask or
get asked, “If you could be anything in the world; what would you be?” How about,
“If you could go anywhere; where
would you go?” Most of us had some
wonderful dreams and wishes. Some were
fanciful; some were heroic. So where did
you want to go or what did you want to be?
Was it some exotic faraway place?
Did you want to be an astronaut or a famous doctor? Did you dream of your successful
business? What did you dream?
In the Bible, many people dreamed to. Isaac and Rebekah dreamed of a child, so did
Hannah and Elizabeth. Samuel dreamed of
a godly king. Ruth dreamed of a husband. Many people dreamed of something that they
longed for. They hoped for something;
they held the desire in their heart. Yet
these had one more element; they prayed for God’s help and answer.
Maybe praying to be an astronaut might
have been a stretch (but then maybe not); yet we do not often pray for God’s
help. We may think we are unworthy, we
may think that what we pray for is not important to God. Maybe we doubt that God can or wants to
answer our prayers. Whatever the reason,
we often miss out on one of God’s greatest blessings. Yet when we pray in a faithful fashion, God
promises to hear and to answer our prayers.
We hear that over and over in the Bible; Matthew, Luke, John are just a
few that repeatedly tells u to ask or to call upon his name. So do we?
Look at our verse, far more than we ask or
think. God wants to bless you far more
than you can ever imagine. He wants you
to call upon his name and trust that he will answer. He wants you to be happy, he wants you to be
content; yet we continue to falter and we continue to miss out on his
grace. Too often we look too short, and
fall even shorter. Yet God continues to
invite you to call upon his name and to ask of him.
The promise of answered prayers; the
promise to work in us and through us.
God’s love for us exceeds anything we can ever imagine or dream. Yet we limit ourselves because we limit our
faith. We have God’s promise to answer
our prayers beyond anything we could ever dream or imagine and we turn away
from it. Trust God, have faith in his
promise to you. Receive his blessings
for your life.
Dear Father, your mercies are new every day. Forgive us when we fail to call upon your name. Forgive us when we fail to trust in you fully. Give us the faith to trust you. Give us the holy desire to seek your blessings. Keep us close to you send your spirit of comfort to those who are in the most need of your comfort. In Jesus’ precious name we pray, amen.
