Beyond Expectation
“Now
unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
think, according to the power that worketh in us…”
(Ephesians 3:20)
Today’s Morsel: Do
you live below God’s expectations for you? Who sold you the lie that
Christians aren’t supposed to have nice things and that you can’t do great
things in Christ? Granted, we should not become ostentatious or prideful
with who we are and with good things, but we should not live below how God
expects of us to live either. Yes, we should walk humbly towards those
who are without, and with what we now have, and yes our greatest reward will be
eternal. What does it mean to go beyond one’s expectation? To go beyond one’s
expectations can mean different things to all of us. Like believing in something
that’s greater than you have ever imagined, and to be an overcomer of
obstacles in life. A few
years ago, the Green Bay Packers began their season by losing their first few
games. And everyone began to count them out. But then Aaron Rogers,
the quarterback, said that the Packers could run the table and make the
playoffs if they put their minds to do it. And they did just that.
He was banking beyond expectations. What about you? What do you believe
you can do in Christ? Paul said that he could do all things (Philippians 4:13).
And he encourages us that Jesus Christ can do
exceeding, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power
that works in us. Care to go beyond your expectations?
Sing: Oh,
glory be to Jesus let the hallelujah roll; Help me ring my Savior’s praise far
and wide; for I’ve open up toward heaven all the windows of my soul, and I’m
living on the hallelujah side.
Thought For
Today: Let God take you beyond your expectations (Parker).
