Is there anything you can’t do?

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 NLT

There are plenty of things I can’t do, I can’t sing, I can’t bake a cake, and I can’t speak French just to name three. There is a lot I can do by God’s grace and His giftedness in me. Most of the things I can’t do fall into two areas, the Lord has not given me the natural ability to do it, or I am uninterested in learning something new. When I have taken an interest in learning something, the Lord has always helped me to be good at it if it was His will for me. The end of Paul’s second prayer to the church at Ephesus got me to thinking how much I can accomplish, as Paul puts it, “through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” (Eph. 3:20nlt)

If you are struggling in an area of your life where you are lagging not being able to put your best foot forward even with the ability to do it, are you allowing God’s mighty power to work in you? Perhaps you’re at a point where you sense you are not going any further, you have reached your limit. One thing you can’t do is limit what God can do through you. Another thing you can’t do is neglect to ask God for His help in your struggles. He can do more than you will even ask Him for, especially in what He has called and gifted you to do.

There are plenty of things we can’t do, but there is nothing we can’t do if it is God’s will for us as He works in us. It is beyond our imagination of all that God can accomplish through us if we ask Him and give all the glory to Him, ‘more than we might ask or think.’
