God's Power for Us TODAY!!

Hey Friend!

This morning, I was reading in Ephesians and look at this amazing prayer/promise I found:

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,  far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,  which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. - Ephesians 1:18-23

God's power in us is such a mystery, but when we look at it in Jesus, and other brothers and sisters out there doing God's work, we realize that he's working.  At some points in my life, I have felt he was working in others, but not in me, but looking back now, I see that every challenge, every gift, every friend and every QT was made to draw me close, to change me into the likeness of Christ, to prepare me for heaven.  Even during the seasons of illness and grief, God was working, equipping me to take on all that he has for me today!!  And God's power is not limited by my ability or inability to grasp what he's doing.  He's bigger and stronger than anything and he's exerting that strength to build in me the person he needs me (AND YOU!!) to be today and for the rest of our lives.  God is the master potter and we are the clay!  Let's trust him as he molds us today!

Love you!  Ash
