Today I was reading in Ephesians 3&4. Man! What an awesome couple chapters. I was really swept away by Pauls prayer at the end of chapter 3. "Now to him who is able to do imeasurably more than all we ask or imagine..." I think we have a very bad habit of pigeon holeing God by thinking that he has limited power. We talk about our "all knowing" and "all powerful" God, but when we pray to Him or worship Him, we approach Him with our finite minds. We ask for things but we ask once and hope for the best. Over the past few weeks my church was trying to get into a permanent facility. I know many people were praying about it and praying a lot. I heard several people pray the if it be God's will, we will get the building. They also asked that if it is not His will, tell us a resounding NO! Well the answer was no. I, along with many people were very dissapointed. Why don't we realize that our prayers were answered? We asked that God's will be done. Well folks, God's will has (and is) being done!! Just because he does not give us the answer that we wanted does not refute his power. Could we have done great things for Pueblo West with that building? Heck yes! Would it have been great! You better believe it! Does God know things we have no idea about? Yes, He does. I don't know what God has in store for us but I am excited about it!
Oh, by the way, chapter 4 was great too!!!!
