Remarkable Things
Reading: Ephesians 3:14-21 - For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Devotional: The witnesses in Luke 5 said they had seen remarkable things -- a word that carries the weight of a paradox, something that shattered every expectation they walked in with. Paul prays in Ephesians 3 that believers would know a love that surpasses knowledge and experience a God who does far more than anything we could ask or imagine. The Christian life is not meant to be predictable. It is meant to be full of moments where God exceeds what we thought was possible. Do not let familiarity shrink your expectation of what He can do in a single moment, including this one.
Reflection: What expectation have you placed on God that may be too small for who He actually is?
