What Do You Want God to Do?

"Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."

Ephesians 3:20-21

Before the resurrection, do you imagine that the disciples could have fully grasped the power God the Father could exert? After having seen their crucified master again walking on earth, do you suppose Christ's followers prayed with greater belief and expectation? Paul prayed that the Ephesians would know the "surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places. . ." (Ephesians 1:19-20).  Surpassing greatness of His power. Resurrection power! If He can do such an unimaginable thing as resurrect His son, what can He not do? When we pray with a desire for His glory, not ours, He will hear us from heaven and use His power -- the very power that resides in believers today --  to accomplish even more than what we ask. Far more. Abundantly far more. Abundantly beyond far more than that which we can think to ask. Have you thought of something extraordinary?  Have you asked God to do it?  If not, why not? God can do more than that. He can do things you haven't even thought about.
