“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…” Ephesians 3:20
Have you ever felt like the world is turning on its axis and taking everyone along on its forward route, except you? That perhaps you have been left behind?
Do you feel everyone is racking up successes, but that you do not seem to be going anywhere, or you appear to be failing at every endeavour?
Do you believe that you have been held back in any area of your life, or that you are simply treading water?
Do you see hopelessness in your future, or simply bleakness when you think of your life and where it’s headed?
You are not alone. Many others have been in your position, many are, and as long as the world remains, many more will be in your shoes.
Cheer up, there is yet hope for you.
You feel this way because you have believed a lie, which is that everything depends on you, your will, and your effort, and furthermore, you have forgotten what the wise King Solomon discovered, that “the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong…” Ecclesiastes 9:11
Let me introduce to you, or remind you of, the God who is not bound by space or time, or any of the limitations creation is subject to, and who can do far more than you could ever imagine…the Creator.
You can plan and project your life, or even scope out the blessings you seek in hope, but all that will be according to your experience and no more. So for example, if on the alphabet scale of A-Z, you find yourself treading water at D, you cannot see, even in your wildest dreams, any situation better or beyond the letter Z; that is, if you would even permit yourself to hope and dream so far.
The letter Z, which is the limit of your expectation, is number 26 on the number scale, and that is as far as your imagination will take you. But I want you to recognize that God who is not bound by the laws of nature, or limited by what limits humanity, is well able, from that number D where you find yourself stuck, to migrate you to number 100, which is far above the number 26 and the alphabet Z. He does it by changing the variables you know, work with, and project into the future: from alphabet to numbers.
He alone has the capability to change the variables, and He answers to no-one. This is He who holds your future. Trust Him to do “far more exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that is at work within…” Ephesians 3:20
