Wednesday Reading: Ephesians 3:20-21
Key Verse: Ephesians 3:20
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Devotion:
The more that you read about the scientific world the more that you realise that there are so many things yet to be discovered. We look in awe at the power that has been harnessed from of the atom and we wonder just how much more power the scientists can get from so little to start with. We see so many advances in all walks in life and yet we still gaze in wonder at the power that God has set before us: the mighty waterfall, the earthquake, the sun. How can we ever hope to be able to achieve such power – but that does not seem to stop man from trying to be as God!
We can see so many references to the wonderful things that God has done from the beginning of our bibles right through to what He will do in the end. How can we not see God as anything but omnipotent! He was the one who has given children to barren women, raised dead people up, healed the sick, blind and lame. He is the one who has created us. We are still struggling to find out exactly what does make us all tick the way we do. Doctors can do some pretty amazing things, including bringing people back from the dead, though not 3 days dead. They can heal the blind, though not give them back perfect sight. God is able.
We need to take note of all that God has done and lift those facts up high so that many more people can get to know just how much God can do for them too. We need to lift up our prayers and make sure that we trust Him to answer them in full. It is no good lifting up prayers unless we do believe that God is able to answer them! Take a look through your bible today and see just how much God alone can achieve and then lift up your prayers knowing that He will answer according to His ability and not to ours! God Almighty, El Shaddai, the only one who is able. Praise Him!
Points to Ponder:
What is the most amazing thing you have done?
Think about something small God has done...
