TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Now
to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think…
Ephesians 3:20, NKJV.
Ephesians 3:20, NKJV.
TODAY'S WORD:
Today’s verse tells us
that God will do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or think. But
here’s the key: the next part says that it’s “…according to the power that
works in you.” It’s not according to the power that’s in your neighbor, your
boss, your pastor, your priest, the bank or the stock market. It’s according to
the power that works in you. In other words, it depends on what you’re
believing. If you go around telling yourself, “I’m just average. I’m not that
talented. I come from the wrong family,” then the exceeding greatness of God’s
power is not going to work in you. That treasure is going to stay buried.
But when you acknowledge
God’s greatness in your life, when you see yourself the way He sees you and
live by the Word of God, that’s when His power works in you
Remember, you've been created in the image of Almighty God. You
have treasure on the inside. If that treasure is going to come out, you have to
have the attitude, “I've got what it takes. I’m not waiting on it. I’m not
hoping to get it one day. I’m not begging somebody to give me a break. No, I’m
equipped, empowered, talented and creative, and I will fulfill the destiny He
has in store for me!”
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank You for
Your exceeding, abundant promises. I invite You to have Your way in and through
me. Show me Your ways that I may walk with You and honor You all the days of my
life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
