Ephesians 3:20 “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.”
An elderly couple was in Alaska on vacation. They wife had purchased tickets for a two-hour excursion to fly over the nearby glacier see the beauty of Alaska from the air. When they arrived at the tiny airstrip, the husband saw one beat-up, rusty, teeny-tiny prop plane. He turned to his wife and said, “Honey, I am not going up in that plane.” The wife sharply said, “You just don’t have enough faith.” The husband matter-of-factly responded, “You just don’t have enough plane.” Too often in the church we talk about needing more faith before we will entrust our lives to God. Yet, some of us, like the husband, have enough faith. What we don’t have is the understanding of how BIG our God really is. We read about God in Old Testament times and how He defeated the Egyptian army, and how He conquered enemy after enemy for Israel. Too many people today look at God and see a rusty, out-of-date teeny-tiny god who isn’t bigger than our cancer or our marriage problems or our depression or the drugs that are slowly killing our child. We have the idea that God is so small and unreliable that we aren’t willing to entrust our life to Him. God is almighty; God is all-knowing, and God is all-wise. Trust Him. He is big enough!
