Read Ephesians 3:20-21.
So often my work in missions seems daunting. Day after day I encounter people far from Christ who are unwilling to forego their gods to follow the True God. It’s heartbreaking to know their hardened hearts are on a trajectory towards eternal separation from the One who created them and loves them.
In these moments of despair, I’m encouraged to move forward in obedience to Jesus’ commission by a voice whispering, “I am able to do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. I am working in you to bring people to Me. I will be made known throughout all generations. Take heart, my faithful servant.”
The whisper entices me to pray bigger—asking God to do far more than I can dream up because He is able.
God, we pray for you to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine ... confident that You are able to penetrate the hardest hearts with the sweetness of Your love. Amen.
