God
is able to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Ephesians
3:20
Thoughts~
Max Lucado asked “If your
Father is God and you have a problem on your hands, what do you do? Scripture
tells us what to do.” He goes on to list several things but what struck me was “Is
your problem too large?” He quoted our verse today, Ephesians 3:20. And I got very, very excited.
Excitement ran through my
veins as I thought how often these huge, gigantic problems that enter our lives
are seen in human terms, not divine ones. We are limited by our ability and
forget that the Creator of the Universe can do anything He wants to do for
us. Sometimes He doesn’t give us what we
think we need. His plan is better. So much better.
I admit that I forget what I
have already shared in my blogs so if I told you that a friend gave me her
mother’s car when she passed away, be excited all over with me again. I really
needed a “new to me” car and didn’t want payments. I began praying for one and
wondered how God might help me out. Through the amazing generosity of my
friend, I now have a car with no payments. It’s an older car that drives so
smoothly and I love it.
Ephesians 3:20 reminds me
that while I was praying for a car, God already knew the one He wanted me to
have. And the timing was not right at first. Bev went to live in heaven and I
am now driving her car. I think of her (and my girlfriend Linda) every time I
am in the car and say a little prayer of thanks.J
So Yes, I am excited to know
that God answers all of our prayers in ways we have no ability to even guess
at. All of our biggest problems will be taken care of along with the teeny
ones. We have an amazing Father who
wants to bless those who love and follow Him.
Action~
Is there something that you
feel is too big a problem for God? I can sense many people nodding a big yes.
So give it to God and watch how He takes care of the problem!
Pray~
Thank you Lord for being
there for me always. Thank you for doing more in my life that I could ever hope
for.
Trusting in Him,
Becky
