Exceedingly abundantly

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, - Ephesians 3v20

I think that there are times in our lives when we find ourselves limiting God. The end of Ephesians 3 is full of amazing phrases that we could easily stop and examine in detail. The desire that we might be able to comprehend the incomprehensible Love of God is one example. Another example is the concept of being full of all the fullness of God. These all remind us that we cannot think the same as God. His ways are above our ways. His thoughts are above our thoughts. His love is something we can grow in, but never fully grasp. He desires to fill us with His fullness and to get us out of the way.

But there is another example of this difference between God and man that I want to look at this morning. “Now to Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.” It seems that the reason we do not always trust God is various situations that we really don’t think He is able to do it. Why is that?

We need to remember that God is able to do more for us than we can possibly imagine. We can do, as the verse above says - “exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.”

How amazing! God is able to more than we can even think about. He is able to do more that we can even know how to ask. It is so easy to try and keep God in our little man sized box limiting Him to what we can understand. We want God to do things that we can grasp.

Why does it seem we can never learn to trust the God Who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ever ask or think?
