Beyond

Ephesians 3:20 says this:

God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. (The Message)

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, (NIV)

Glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine by his power at work within us; (CEB)

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (KJV)

(Italics Mine)

I am sitting here today in awe of this God I serve who continues to do beyond all I could ask or imagine.

From hearing my dreams and desires, to providing for our needs, from comforting us in times of sorrow, to fulfilling his promises, God is good.

Sometimes while we are waiting for God’s purposes to be revealed and fulfilled, things look bleak. But in those moments we have a choice, rely on Him and His promises, or rely on ourselves. But the thing is, between the two options, God is the only one with a proven track record.

Once again in our lives God has proven Himself faithful. He has not only brought about a change that we could never have anticipated, He has brought it about in a way that addresses multiple desires that He has placed in my heart.

Beyond all that I could have asked or imagined.

That doesn’t mean there isn’t still work for Him to do, because there is, but I can’t and won’t be anxious about it because I have seen, yet again, how He loves us and gives us what is best for us at the exact right time.

If you are waiting for God to fulfill His promises to you, to give you the desires that He has placed in your heart, don’t give up. Don’t try to take things into your own hands. Just remember these verses, He can and will do beyond all you can ask or imagine. Keep believing.
