Paul ends Ephesians 3 with words which remind us that there is always so much more of God and His blessings to discover. He says, ‘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.’ (Eph 3:20-21)
God is not worn out by giving us the blessings of strength, His presence and His love, as we sometimes feel when we have done things for other people! He is not sitting down in need of some replenishment because He is exhausted by being so generous towards us. He is able to do immeasurably more, even more, than this! His power is at work in us and He is able to pour out even more blessings. There is no limit to what God can do. There is no limit to the amazing blessings He is able to pour out on us. He is that never-ending fountain of life (Ps 36:9) and all our fountains are in Him. (Ps 87:7) There is never any water shortage in God, never any lack, any deficiency and we can ‘rise above the normal’ (‘Hero’, Kutless) because we are linked to the Almighty. There is no need to fear, no need to give up, no need to despair. Robert Browning got it right when he wrote, ‘God’s in his heaven – all’s right with the world!’ (Pippa’s Song) We may be surrounded by battles and in the thick of trouble, but God’s power and strength and presence and love will see us through.
