One favorite scripture says, “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that ye ask or think…”
My heart is encouraged when I read these marvelous words.
The fact that God is “able to do” suggests that no matter how daunting today’s crisis might appear, there is Someone who can handle it. His resources tower majestically higher and stretch infinitely wider than any mountain His child may face.
Considering the fertile imagination resident in most of us, for scripture to say that God is able to do so much more than we ask or think crowds the load limits of our minds. It would seem that the limitations of prayer’s possibilities are self-imposed by our failure to dream and believe commensurate with God’s limitless power. So go ahead and fire up your imagination. Dream big. Believe big. Ask big.
A wise old country gentleman once said; “Better to aim at the moon and hit a fence post that to aim at a fence post and hit the ground!”
See you at the altar!
