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. -Ephesians 3:20-21
It is easy to get bogged down in the day to day events of life and become discouraged. There are too many things on the calendar, things aren’t moving as fast as we’d like them to or they’re moving too fast. We put our heads down and trudge onward trying to make do. Our faces grow determined and our hearts grow tired. Our vision grows dim.
Several years ago, I listened to a friend talk about the fact that we serve a God who can make waterfalls go up. I was inspired by the truth in that statement. I’ve never seen God make a waterfall go up, but I know He could. I recognized the implications for that in my life at the time-that God is able. That little statement renewed my passion to pursue Him for all that was happening. A couple of weekends ago, God reminded me of that truth. He asked me to follow Him believing He can change the direction of the waterfalls in my life, trusting that when He doesn’t He is right there with me when I fall over the edge.
This week is spring break for a lot of people. Whether or not you get to take a whole week, take some time this week to break out of the bog. Spend some time pondering who God is and what He is able to do. He is able.
