IMMEASURABLY MORE

READ:

He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world
-1 John 4:4

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 20-22
Ephesians 6

It's not going to happen, Aunt Julie. You might as well be erase that thought from your mind."
"I know it's unlikely," I said. "But it's not impossible."
For several years, my niece and I have had variations of that conversation regarding a situation in our family. The rest of the sentence, which I said only occasionally, was this: "I know it can happen because I hear stories all the time about how God makes impossible things happen." The part of the sentence I said only to myself was this: "But they happen only in other people's families."
Recently my pastor has been preaching from the book of Ephesians. At the end of every service we say this benediction "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we asked 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" (Ephesians 3:20-21 NIV)
This was the year God chose to do "immeasurably more" in my family. He replaced indifference with love. How did He do it? Beats me. But I saw it happen. And why should I be surprised? If Satan can turn love to indifference, certainly God can change indifference back to love. - Julie Ackerman Link
Lord thank You for doing immeasurably more in our lives than we could ever imagine.
I am so thankful that You are able and often do make impossible situations possible.

God's power to restore is stronger than Satan's power to destroy.

GOD HAS A SUBSTITUTE

One thing we need to learn in today's reading is that God always has a substitute. If God says He wants you, rejoice! However, be careful, because even as He is choosing you, He has already prepared a substitute.
