I Am Able To Do Far Beyond All That You Ask

(from Jesus Calling book by Sarah Young)

"I AM ABLE to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine.  Come to Me with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what I can accomplish.   Ask My Spirit to control your mind, so that you can think great thoughts of Me.  Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered.  Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon Me, to trust Me in the dark.  The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see My Power and Glory at work in the situation.  Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for My glorious intervention.  Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that I am doing in your life."

Wow, I just noticed that.   To view our troubling situations as "setting the scene for God's intervention".

References 3 scriptures:

Ephesians 3:20-21 (GNT)  "To Him who by means of His power working in us is able to do so much more than we can ever ask for, or even think of: to God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever! Amen."

Romans 8:6 (GNT) "To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace."

Isaiah 40:30-31 (GNT)  "Even those who are young grow weak; young men can fall exhausted.  But those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed.  They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak."

Revelation 5:13 (GNT) "And I heard every creature in Heaven, on earth, in the world below, and in the sea - all living beings in the universe - and they were singing:  'To Him who sits on the throne and  to the Lamb, be praise and honor, glory and might, forever and ever!"
