Read Ephesians 3:20-21.
He is Able Beyond Our Imagination
So often my work in missions seems daunting. Day after day I encounter people far from Christ who are unwilling to forego their gods to follow the True God. It’s heartbreaking to know their hardened hearts are on a trajectory towards eternal separation from the One who created them and loves them.
In these moments of despair, I’m encouraged to move forward in obedience to Jesus’ commission by a voice whispering, “I am able to do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. I am working in you to bring people to Me. I will be made known throughout all generations. Take heart, my faithful servant.”
A Prayer to Him Who is Able
The whisper entices me to pray bigger—asking God to do far more than I can dream up because He is able.
God, we pray for you to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine … confident that You are able to penetrate the hardest hearts with the sweetness of Your love. Amen.
