More Than You Can Imagine

"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." -Ephesians 3:20

Humans have had some pretty impressive accomplishments over the last 100 years. A man has walked on the moon. Runners have run an under 4 minute mile. Vaccines have nearly eradicated several diseases. Phones have become our PC, camera, and primary source of entertainment. It seems that the boundaries of medicine and technology are no more.

For all that we can do, there is so much more we can't. Despite our best efforts, there are limits to human achievement. While we may not have reached them yet, we inevitably will. We are limited by the laws of physics, and often times by our own imaginations and past failures.

Many times the limits we place on ourselves from lack of confidence, vision, and creativity, we transfer to God. We assume(wrongly) that if we haven't seen something done, then God can't or won't do it. In the Holy Scriptures we see instance after instance of God working outside the boundaries of physics, medicine, and human comprehension. If we know what He is capable of, why do we place God inside our tiny box and leave Him there? We pray little prayers, and don't expect God to answer even those.

Paul says that God can do "immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine." God can do anything! He is the God of miracles; there is literally nothing He can't do. Remember when you were a kid and you thought that your dad could do anything? Now I'm a dad and my kids constantly ask me to do things of which I'm entirely incapable. Let's get back to that childlike faith that believes our Father God can do anything. Let's start asking and believing in Him to do ginormous things, impossible things, more than we can imagine!
