Unto Him That is Able...

Listening to BBN Radio this evening, and heard this verse read:

Ephesians 3:20 "Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen."


So, I decided to take a closer look at the context...  What struck me was verse 13:


"Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory."


Paul was in prison at this time!  In spite of his own circumstance appearing dire, he was encouraging the saints at Ephesus that, the same Savior who made possible -- and who made known -- the Gospel and all that it means, this same One is also able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think!


Ok, Lord!  We're ready!  While we diligently try to do what we must do, at the same time, we await Your solution to our current dilemma!  We humbly ask You to help us get our things moved from the house in Tennessee, and to provide a buyer willing to pay the amount we need.  And at the same time, we ask that You would provide a job that will meet our needs and will be close to our new home!  We ask these things, knowing that You are able to do exceeding abundantly above ALL of this!  And, to You be the Glory!
