Beyond

Nothing will be impossible with God.

Luke 1:37

Today's devotional is kind of a continuation of yesterdays. The writer talks about sometimes we think our desires are too big, but a lot of times , God might actually be saying, "No, I want you dream bigger." She says if God gives you a desire, a big desire, don't be afraid. She says to attempt things for God that are so great that they're destined for failure unless He's in them. She goes on to talk about how we tend to spend time sweating out things like details, but that God always knows how everything turns out. He knew every day of your life before you ever came to be. The desires that you have are no surprise to Him, He already knows what He's going to do with them.

I am actually watching God work out a big desire. He put a desire for a backyard bible club on my husband's heart late last year. This hasn't been done through our church for quite a few years, and something my husband has never done. Our church had no budget for this at all, but my husband knew God wanted him to do this. We started our first night Monday evening, and are having a pretty good success with it. It is amazing to watch God work, and I am privilaged to be apart of it.

Steps of Faith:
Lord, You are able to do above and byond all that I ask or think-according to the power that works in you-to You be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever (Ephesians 3:20-21)

Deeper Walk:
Ephesian 3:14-21 NAS

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the bredth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. 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.
