MORE THAN ABLE

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

I listened to the song “More Than Able” by Elevation Worship today and I couldn’t help but to think of all the things I’m currently believing God for. While I have no doubt that my prayers will be answered, I have to admit that I struggle with the how. Well, this song reminded me that the how is not for me to understand or really to even be concerned with. All I have to do is trust and believe that God is able to do it.

Immediately, I got an opportunity to put that into practice So, today my car overheated. That may be minor to someone but for me that was yet another thing I had to figure out. I had a great morning. I listened to a service online, had my prayer time and had just left church. It was another distraction to steal my joy and another monetary loss that I couldn’t afford. I’m starting to recognize distractions for what they are quicker.

After I cried a little bit, I called my daddy. Yes, I’m still a daddy’s girl. He didn’t answer so I stopped at the nearest auto parts store and the gentlemen there were very nice and helpful. Now, I’m not a mechanic so they could have told me anything because I needed help. So, I began to pray and believe that whatever I would need I would have and that my car would be fixed. They sold me the part I needed, topped my fluids off and instructed me to go straight home. I thanked them for their service and did just that.

My daddy called back as I was driving home. I explained to him what happened and what I was instructed to do. He told me not to worry and he’d call me right back. And when he did, he told me that someone would be there in an hour to change the part. I was thinking it was just that one part that the gentlemen sold me, but it was also one more issue I didn’t even know of, but my daddy made sure it was all fixed.

That’s my earthly father. How much more able is my heavenly father to do what He said He would. I don’t care about the how anymore. I’m not putting any limits on God. I’m not telling Him what to do or how to do it. I’m taking Him at His word. He’s able to do exceedingly abundantly above ALL that I could ask or think. So, not only am I trusting Him to answer the prayers I’ve prayed, I’m in expectance of Him answering the ones I didn’t even ask for.

He is more than able!
