The theme of this blog entry is the greatness of God. God is greater than we ask or imagine if we let him work through us. This theme is from Ephesians 3:20 that discusses how God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine according the power at work within us.
An example of this is God's working in the Old Testament for the commitment to the people of Israel's good. God is always faithful to the people of Israel. God is able and faithful but the people are not. God still cares for his people after all their sin after he brings them out the exile.
Two verses that also talk of God's greatness in relation to Ephesians 3:20 passage are Matthew 1:17 and Luke 1:35-37. Matthew 1:17 says, "Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to Christ." This verse in Matthew discusses God's movement through his people and what he can do through us.
Luke 1:35-37 when the angel Gabriel answers Mary's questioning of Jesus' birth says, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God." This last verse describes how God moves in mighty ways. God cannot be underestimated with his power,glory, and ability to move in our life.
In our ministries and life, we have to surrender the sins that weigh us down so that God can move in our life. God is mighty, powerful, and has the ability to save us from anything that hold us down. For God is able to to more than we can ever ask or imagine in our life; Ephesians 3:20.
