More Power

DEVOTION
EPHESIANS
MORE POWER

Eph 3:20-21
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
NIV
Is there any question that it is he whom works within me? None at all! I know for a fact this is an absolute. But I think perhaps I do hinder this work from time to time. I do think I fail to realize just how much power he has in working within me. I do think I am a man of faith. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is capable of anything and everything. But I wonder if I really ask or imagine just as much as he would do for, in me and through me. I wonder if I dare ask for more than he has already accomplished in my life. I am surely willing to do whatever he asks of me and I do think in those terms as the way I believe he would have me think. I don’t think I do much of anything of major consequence within knowing he is at work within me, and desires this move for me in order I may be doing for the Kingdom. When I think of him doing for me, in me and through me, I have no doubt about his power regarding working through me. I have great faith in his ability to work in me, although I hinder that at times. But I wonder if I have as much faith in his working for me. I wonder if I ask him enough for his working for me. I know he will do anything is I ask in the name of Jesus. I know he will, if I ask according to his will. I know he will because he desires to give me good things. But I think I have enough things, I just need more of him. I know if I seek him first he will add all these things to me as well. Sometimes the things could distract me from doing all that I should for him if I let them. I do believe he has all the power but I also believe he has given me the ability to restrict it. I pray I will never do that, I need more power then I could ever imagine or ask for. I give him all the glory.
