Now all glory to God who is able through His mighty power at work within us to accomplish infinitely more that we might ask or think – Eph. 3:20 NLT
The phrase “infinitely more” perfectly describes God’s limitless ways. Infinite means lack of boundaries in time, space, extent, and magnitude. The brain is the seat of intelligence, and the source of all the qualities that define our humanity. Yet our brains cannot comprehend God’s limitless ways. This sometimes constitute a hindrance when dealing with spiritual matters. We pray and also try to figure out how God will answer the prayer. We set our hearts on the possible ways by which we think God can come through. The truth is that God’s ways are unsearchable. The best brain cannot fathom His ways because He is able to do infinitely more than we could ask or imagine.
An experience with the God of infinitely more.
Shortly after the event above, God stirred up four lepers to go to the Arameans camp. Meanwhile God caused the Aramean army to hear sound of horses and a mighty army marching, such that the soldiers panicked and fled the camp. The lepers looted the camp, as well as the people of Samaria. This caused food prices to drop, and the prophecy was fulfilled. 2 Kings 7:1-20
The Samarians experienced a miraculous turn of events with the God who can do infinitely more. Perhaps the King thought another city will come to their rescue and food prices will drop drastically. Maybe he was stunned at the possibility of such change. The story is a reminder of how God can eliminate shame in unusual ways. However, the king’s officer who denied the possibility of the prophecy was trampled to death while the people rushed out to plunder the camp. Do not limit God’s ability in your life by trying to figure out how He will deliver you. When you run out of feasible options, you might seek alternatives out of God’s plan. Therefore when you have prayed, let your heart rest in His unchanging character, and God who is able to do infinitely more would unleash you to a world of divine possibilities.
Be careful how you think
Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” (Proverbs 4:23 TEV)
When you think there’s no way out of a situation, you have limited God’s power to work in that situation with unbelief. The Lord directs our steps, so why try to understand everything along the way? (Prov. 20:24 NLT). Remember God is able to do infinitely beyond your greatest prayers, hopes or dreams according to His power that is at work within you. To experience infinitely more, we need to allow His power to work in us through our unwavering faith. Whenever you are faced with situations that seem to overpower your faith, instead of limiting God with unbelieving thoughts, simply pray: I believe, help me overcome my unbelief.
May you begin to experience the God who can accomplish more than you can guess or request in your wildest dreams!
Shalom!
