Bible Reading: Ephesians 3:6–21
Memory Verse: Ephesians 3:20
Today, as I woke up, the Holy Spirit quickened Ephesians 3:20 to me:
“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.”
More and more, as I study the Word of God, I realize that our greatest challenge is to understand the Scriptures from God’s perspective. This verse indicates that our human minds are not capable of comprehending God’s abilities toward us.
What we have in Christ is mind-blowing. This is why verse 8 uses the word “unsearchable,” implying that it is past finding out. It is like when you think you have discovered so much of what you have received, and then God shows you that you have not even scratched the surface of His knowledge or abundant supply.
This discovery or knowledge is not a result of works or self-effort, but through the grace of God. Paul reveals to us that he was the least qualified to be the harbinger of the Gospel, but it was by God’s grace. The favor of God was extended to him, and he received it by saying yes.
Instead of focusing our prayers and relationship with God on asking for things that can never compare to what we can access through knowing who God is and who we are in Him, let’s direct our energy toward renewing our minds to think like God.
As we do, it will allow God’s power to work in us and enable us to access His immeasurable provision.
Nugget of Truth
The more we know who God is and who we are in Christ, the more we position ourselves to access His immeasurable provision.
