God Can Do So Much More

Now glory by to God! By his almighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. -- Ephesians 3:20

Most of us, when we start to do something we’ve never done before, tend to look at all the positives and the negatives. We consider how wonderful the project could be -- if only it weren’t for all the obstacles we faced. We don’t think we could possibly do whatever it is we dream of doing because we don’t have the skills or the resources or the money.

We never seem to factor in the only thing that really matters: Is it something God wants you to do? I had a wonderful pastor once that talked about this very thing. He said that he didn’t worry too much about money or anything else. His only concern was whether it was something God wanted. He was right.

God has all the talent you’ll ever need to do anything. He has unlimited financial resources and access to the most skilled people in the world. God can make anything happen. So if He blesses your project, God will make sure you have everything you need. Guaranteed.

That knowledge opens up a world of possibilities. Imagine what you could accomplish with God providing everything you need to make it happen! Think back to Moses. Remember that when God told Moses He wanted him to lead the Israelites to freedom, Moses basically told God that He needed to get someone more qualified to do it. Look what Moses did. And all because God led the way!

So the next time you feel God leading you somewhere you’ve never been before, somewhere kind of scary, just give it all to Him and trust that God will work it all out. Imagine the possibilities. And know that God can accomplish so much more
