(Ephesians 3:20) God is able.

I love Ephesians 3:20 because it expands my vision of who God is and what God is able to do through His infinite power.

It pushes me become a neutral Christian life and act with an expectation that God can do things beyond my limitations and weaknesses.

This verse reveals to us a very high view of the freedom and power of God.

God is a flowing river among us; He is not a static rock in heaven.

God is not a static machine, restrained and helpless in our circumstances.

God is sovereign and is able to speak and act according to His will.

It is crucial that we take our focus off our own petty limitations. 

We all have them.

Unfortunately, we often box God into our own limited thinking and imaginations.

We must focus our lives on God's abilities and power alone.

We often unconsciously make God smaller than He really is.

He is far greater than anything we can formulate in our fallen minds.

Nothing is impossible for God.

After all, God created the universe out of nothing.

However, this does not mean that we can dictate to God what we want and expect Him to do it.

We are so limited in knowing what is best for us.

We can't play God.

However, this does not mean that we are some kind of puppets trapped in a cycle of fatalism.

We must continue to pray without ceasing. Why? Because God acts within our relationship with Him.

Our future hope is not empty wishful thinking; it is rooted in the very nature of who God is.

God acts only according to His inner character.

He does not act arbitrarily, but always in infinite wisdom and according to His eternal purpose.

Did you wake up this morning with your head full of limitations and boundaries that you think God must stay within?

Do you project your human limitations onto God?

Do you constrain God to your limited understanding of reality?

Do you box God into your packed schedule?

Let's get our eyes focused back on God, who is able to do abundantly more than we can ask or imagine.

If we do, our vision of Christian living will be filled with "all possibilities," because God is able.

Our relationship is with an abundant God.

He is not bound by the struggles and difficulties of our lives.

Keep praying and expressing the desires of your heart to God.

Do not grow weary and stop.

Completely, let go. 

Abandon everything. 

For God is able.
