Above All That We Ask or Think

What are you trusting God for right now in your life?

A friend came up with the idea for our women’s study group that each day we should write down something for which we’re trusting God—no matter how small or how big.

Perhaps on a particular day when you’re exhausted, you might need to trust God for the energy to get through that day.

On another day you might need to trust Him for the patience to deal with a difficult person.

Another day might find you trusting Him for beautiful weather in spite of a rainy forecast.

Right now I’m trusting Him for a miracle in the life of someone I love.

Why shouldn’t I believe for a miracle? Ephesians 3:20 tells us that God “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us” (emphasis mine).

Wow! That’s an amazing verse! I don’t know about you, but I’d be happy if God did just what I asked for or thought of, but this verse says he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above that.

Let’s not forget the end of that verse: “. . . according to the power that works in us.” When we’re born again and have God’s Holy Spirit living in us, we have the great honor of operating in HIS power to believe and trust for every need and even to be used by Him to help bring about those needs.

Let’s not ever limit Him or His power within us.
