Trust for the Unimaginable!

January 24

God wants to do much more than we have the boldness to ask of Him. In fact, He does much more than we recognize as we go about the miracles of breathing and thinking and achieving and interacting. We take for granted the air we breathe, our mental acuity, our ability to connect with others on a deep level, but these are every-day wonders!

Perhaps it is because we take the miracle of life so much for granted that we neglect to employ our tremendous resource of prayer, that we fail to nurture the measure of faith the Word tells us is within every man (Romans 12:3). Perhaps because He is so good to us we lack the impetus to approach Him for more.

But Acts 13:41 challenges us to anticipate more! It says, “I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.” Our God is the God of infinite resources and limitless power. He is the God whose creativity generated all we can see. He dares us to trust Him for more, for better, for the unimaginable!

He desires to bless us beyond our ability to “ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20). Why? First, because He loves us and second, because He knows that if we believe Him for great things, we will escape the snares the enemy of our souls sets along our path. When that happens, Jesus will grant us deliverance—and He will receive the glory due His name!
