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 glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 3:20, 21

We should never doubt that God is able.  We ask for a dollar, he has a bank full that he can use for us.  The question should never be if God can do it.  He can because of his mighty power that is at work within us. Our responsdibility is to conform ourselves to his Spirit that works in us, a gift that comes with salvation.

The thing I must remember is that God is at work within us.  That must certainly mean that he is right now at work in us!  He is more concerned about our spiritual health than we can possibly imagine.  He is keeping us.  He is protecting us.  He loves us with divine love that surpasses all human love.  He is at work in us, asking us to cooperate with him as he straightens our paths and keeps us faithful.

Furthermore, Paul reminds us, this same Spirit of God is at work in the church.  It is none other than our Jesus Christ who works and works generation after generation, forever and ever.  So, what he does in our hearts is a miracle indeed.  He is in us to do his will!  And he never tires.

I am pushing 90 years old, Anna Ruth is already there!  What are we learning?  That God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within us. If He should stop working in us, we are helpless, doomed.  I need to apply this truth to my heart this morning.  I know it.  Lord, give me grace to believe it and to move forward in faith that you are able.
