The Same Power

"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, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." ~ Ephesians 3: 20-21 

I was reading this verse the other day, and it jumped out at me in a new way. Let's go through what this verse is saying:

• God is able. He can do all things. Nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37). God. Is. Able. 
• He provides abundantly. Immeasurably more- more than our wildest dreams. God can do more than you expect. 
• God provides for us and gives through His power. It's because of His power that He is able to do more and give to us so abundantly. He can do "immeasurably more" because His power is immeasurable. 
• God's power is at work. He is working in us and through us. We are filled with the power of the Lord! God is, right now, working in you. "His power that is at work within us". You are filled with the power of God. God didn't stop working on you in the past, and He isn't waiting to work on you in the future- His power is driving, and working, and moving, and transforming you right now! And He's doing in a way that you can't imagine. Don't become discouraged in the waiting or the slow progress or the trials, for God is working. His power isn't simply working around us, or near us, or in your perfect friend, or in your pastor, but within you. <3

What an encouragement! The power of God is in you- is, meaning currently, meaning now. The same power the conquered death and sin is in you. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13). Wow.
