How great is our God? Have you ever stopped and asked yourself that question? Like really stopped to ponder how truly GREAT our God is? Sometimes we kind of grasp that concept, yet sometimes we also can be guilty of limiting God or thinking that God should only answer our prayers a certain way. In Ephesians 3:20, it talks about God being able to accomplish for us things that are beyond what we could ask or even think! God can blow us away with his plans for us. Let's discuss this. We are human beings. We have limited potential. We can certainly problem solve and accomplish things each day, but our human ability only takes us so far. When we partner with God, inviting him into every area of our lives, a whole new realm of possibilities opens for us. He is the Same Yesterday, Today and ForeverThe Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. What he has done in the past, he will do again but it may not be quite as we expect. God has unique ways of bringing about things in our lives. He will do it his way and in his time. We do not have the right to dictate to God how things should be done. Sometimes we don't like his methods, but they are always out of a heart of love for us. Unanswered prayers can sometimes be the BIGGEST blessings in our lives. I cannot tell you how many times that I have thanked God that my prayers were NOT answered in the way that I THOUGHT they should be. Had it played out in my little "perfect" scenario that I imagined, I would have missed out on some of God's greatest blessings for me. God's plans are perfect for us, yet we often feel we need to step in and tell God "What's what." He sees the beginning to the end, and we only see one very small part. This is where trust comes in. I encourage you today to take your requests to God with confidence, pray for his will and truly "let go and let God." He has it all figured out for you and his ways are so above our ways. Sit back and watch what a GREAT God will do for you. Don't limit him in your mind. Dream big! Ask big! Trust big! He can do truly above and beyond what we could ever think or imagine. Tuck that in your heart today. Dear Heavenly Father: Thank you for the reminder that you can do so much more for us than we can even fathom. May we trust you fully, knowing that you know us best and are able to do more for us than we could even imagine. In Jesus' name, Amen. Sending you a virtual hug, Dana
