When driving to Jacksonville there used to be a sign that I really liked. It was a billboard advertising for a local homebuilder. It said, "Our only limitation is your imagination." I loved that sign and the way it made their company capable of building anything and everything you could imagine and then some. The fact that when you got done with their services, if there was something that wasn't everything you wanted it is your fault for not asking for more.
Think of God that way. The only limitation to God's work in your life is your belief. We tend to put Him in a box and decide for ourselves what He is capable of doing for us. What He can and can't accomplish, or what He will or will not grant is not up to us or our strength of faith, but it is dependent on it.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work in us.
First, Paul tells us that God can do more than we can ask. He is capable and willing to do more than what we can ask Him to do. He is also waiting to do not just more than we ask but more than we can imagine. We pray for 10 new Chrisitans he thinks in terms of millions. We think in terms of 50 new church members, His math won't go below hundreds. He is able to do more than we ask, so much more than we are even capable of imagining(I know I can imagine a lot!). Not just a little more however, immeasurably more. He can do so much more than we ask, so much more than we can imagine, that we can't even measure it. Think about that next time you are spending time alone with Him in prayer. THink over your prayers, and your contentions.
What is it that you are asking, and how does it compare to what He wants to do in your life?
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
