Read Ephesians 3 The Mystery of God

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, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV)

Whenever my children come over to visit as parents, we often delight in giving what they desire to have and more than what they asked for.

Paul having shared of the reality of the believers in unity through the power of the Holy Spirit in prayer wells up in praise and worship.

Paul uses the superlative in speaking of Gods ability to do all things. He is able in various ways, to save the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25), to help those tempted (Hebrews 2:18)For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. (II Timothy

He does according to the power that works in us; this is the power of God, the Holy Spirit doing it and it's not us. He works firs tin us before He does it through us. What is our thought and our focus? Is it the overwhelming problems, sins, struggles we have or Gods attributes? Let us focus on His infinitely gracious, generous and liberal love

Paul starts with theology, then prayer and now doxology in giving glory to God. The church is the glory of God and we revel God's glory by acknowledging Him. Its the place of God's redemptive work. What is happening in the church surpasses the beauty of other creations. That's the glory of Christ as He is the Head.

He ends with an Amen, meaning it is established; that all agreed affirming may it be so in all God's promises.

Prayer: Lord, how often You have awakened me to see the greatness of Your love. I will let the power of Your Spirit who at work in and through me to glorify You. Thank You for the work of redemption and sanctification You have done on my behalf. I am delivered from thinking of my inadequacy but Your power.
