Understanding His Power

TODAY’S VERSE
“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him.”
Ephesians 1:19 (NLT)

TODAY’S THOUGHT
Why would Paul pray such a prayer? How can we ever comprehend God’s power? The answer would be, “A little at a time.” Understanding something so vast as God’s unlimited power is a process. Even if we had a deep revelation of His almighty power, there would be so much more to know. It would be like being on the edge of our universe only to see another universe beyond. But Paul knew that God wants to reveal Himself and His power to us so He prays that God would open our understanding to the power made available for our life. What kind of power is he writing about? Paul continues today’s verse by saying, “This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.” God wants you and I to share in the same power that raised Jesus from the dead! The same power that gives life is available as a resource in our life. And why does Jesus have that power? Paul answers that question by saying that Jesus is “far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come.” So today ask God to give you understanding of His incredible power, then put that understanding to use in your faith and in your prayers. Ask God to help you trust Him and the power He has available for this day.

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, You are all powerful. You are almighty. Help me today to begin to really understand all the power You have made available for my life. Help me trust Your love and Your power as I pray and step out in faith, trusting You for great things.
AMEN
