Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask
or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in
the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and
ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV
"Able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think" So often verses of this type are taught/preached in regards to missions, church projects/purchases, healing, etc. Big stuff. Awe-inspiring action. But it is just as true for individual, personal needs.
For the past month and a half, my quiet time has been almost nonexistent. Summer is here. Things are going smoothly. I am out of my regular routine. Bedtime has been pushed back. There are no real crisis looming on the horizon. Excuses. Reasons. Justifications. None of which are legitimate.
The "far more abundantly" I need right now is a reawakening in my desire to spend time alone with my God. A prayer for self-discipline in the arena of spiritual disciplines is my abundance prayer.
No one else will know. There will not be any fund-raising thermometers showing the progress. Hands won't be raised or exhortations offered. But the working of God will be just as miraculous, just as necessary, and just as exceeding as any mission project or vacation Bible school attendance record.
