“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” Ephesians 3:20
Have you ever reached the place where things appear to be so negative, contrary and impossible to understand or control, that you cannot see how even Yehovah Himself can sort it out? That is sometimes known as reaching “the end of your rope.” There is a saying which goes, “When you reach the end of your rope – let go, because underneath are His everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27 tells us, “The eternal Yehovah is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” It sometimes seems that we must reach the end of our own strength and efforts before we surrender and ask Yehovah to intervene and sort out what we cannot remedy.
The fictional character, Hercule Poitot, is quoted as saying, “There is nothing in this world so damaged that it cannot be healed by the hand of Almighty Yehovah.” While he is a fictional character, those are very true words. You may have heard today’s scripture quoted as, “Now, unto Him, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly.” That is great in itself, but wait, there is more! He is “able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.” Now, that is more like it!! He is able to do FAR more than we can even dream or imagine. But wait, there is yet more to this promise which Yehovah has given us. Paul adds that there are conditions which need to be met, implying that unless we meet those conditions there are limitations upon how that promise can be fulfilled. Those limitations are put on Yehovah’s ability to move in our lives – by us, mere human beings. He can only operate in and through us according to the level of the power we will allow Him to use in and through us. The solution is simple; release Yehovah to do all and anything He wishes to do in your life. Do not put restrictions upon Him and His ability and willingness to operate to the maximum in and through you. He is able and willing to do so much more than we so often limit Him to. Remember when Yeshua said to the people who saw Lazarus walk from the grave, still wrapped in his graveclothes? Today, you need to “loose Him (Yehovah) and let Him go.” Allow Yehovah to do all He desires to do in your heart and life.
