STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Ephesians 3:20
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than
all that we ask or think….” We often
shortchange God by failing to remember what Paul says here: God can do far more
than what we can think or ask. His
power, and His love, are without bound and without measure. So why do we fear to follow His Word? Isn’t it in fact fear that keeps us back from
a life of joyous generosity and openhandedness?
But God is able to do far more abundantly! So let us not be afraid to take the Lord at
His Word and live according to it.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
