To God Be The Glory!

To God Be The Glory!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those willing to say, “To God be the glory.” In Jesus’name, amen.

I was teaching English in South Korea the summer of 2012. My adult students had been practicing their English pronunciation. After a month of intensive study, it was graduation day. The keynote speaker was dynamic, and it was the first time I heard Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV).

“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.”

This verse was a wonderful reminder of the power at work within us. Even if life is hard, I urge you to look around for the abundance of blessings in your life and in the lives of others. Give God the glory for all he has done and will continue to do.

Rock, Stronghold, Deliverer?

Rock, Stronghold, Deliverer?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you are their rock, their stronghold, and deliverer.

Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV) says,

“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.”

In Psalm 144:1-2 (ESV) we hear David testify about God.

“Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
he is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.”

These two verses have insights about the God of the Universe. Have you taken time to trust the one God who provides abundantly, and who David calls, My rock?

Who Gets the Glory?

Who Gets the Glory?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those willing to say, “To God be the glory.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

I was teaching English in South Korea the summer of 2012.

My adult students had been studying about missions and practicing their English pronunciation. After a month of intensive study, it was graduation day.

The keynote speaker was dynamic, and it was the first time I heard Ephesians 3:20-21:

The English Standard Version says,
“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.”

This verse was a wonderful reminder of the power at work within us. Even if life is hard, I urge you to look around for the abundance of blessings in your life and in the lives of others.

Give God the glory for all he has done and will continue to do.

Is Your God Too Small?

Is Your God Too Small?

Lord, I pray for wisdom for people who place limitations on God. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Got a big problem? Got a small god?

In polytheistic cultures, people have a choice among many gods. If a person has a big problem, it only makes sense to worship the most powerful god.

Christ rose from the dead. What is more powerful than that?

Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV) reinforces the idea of Christ’s wonderworking power: “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.”

Never doubt what a mighty God we serve.
