The power God has placed toward those who believe is beyond measure

TEXAS GOSPEL VOLUNTEER

Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian believers in Ephesians 1:19 includes something that is easy to pass over quickly but worth stopping to take in. He prays that they would know the power of God that is directed toward those who believe, and he reaches for a word that means it simply cannot be measured or quantified. This is not a resource that runs low. It is not a strength that fades when drawn upon too heavily. The power of God available to his people is without limit.

That does not mean that following God will mean a life free of difficulty or suffering. Paul himself knew suffering well, and the Bible is honest about the fact that believers walk through hard things. But within all of that, the power of God to accomplish good for his people is not constrained by circumstances or circumstances or anything else. There is no situation so heavy that His power is not greater. There is nothing you are facing that places you beyond the reach of a God whose strength toward you has no ceiling.

Ephesians 3:20

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

Limitless blessings and God’s Generosity

God has the power to give us far more than we can imagine. Ephesians 3:20 reminds us of this truth: “Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.” Doesn’t this tell us that God’s ability goes beyond what we can request or even dream?

When the verse begins with “Now to Him,” it points directly to God—the One who is able. But what is He able to do? Everything we ask? Yes—but not just that. He can do even more. Even if we have many needs, or big requests, God is not limited. He offers more than just enough. He gives an overflowing, endless supply of blessings.

This is not just about what we say in prayer. It’s also about what we think—our hopes, our silent thoughts, even our deepest dreams. God can go beyond all of it.

This truth brings peace and encouragement. We serve a powerful God whose generosity has no limits. His power is already at work inside us, making this promise real each day.

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19
