Anything

God is amazing. Plain and simple. Last night I was going to read my Bible and I really didn't know where to start or what to read. I thought, maybe Ephesians? So I started reading and I was getting pretty sleepy, but I got to the end of chapter 3 and this is what it says:

Ephesians 3:20-21
20-21God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!

I don't know if I have com across this scripture before, but it just really hit me. God can do anything! ANYTHING! There isn't anything that is impossible for him or too hard for him or too low for him to do. He can do it! So I just started praying over the wedding photo I have of me and my husband and just saying it over and over. You can do anything! You can do anything!

As I was driving to work this morning, that word "anything" was brought back to my mind and I again just started praying that he can do anything! There are many times where I feel like this situation that I am in isn't going to get better. He is never going to come back. He is never going to wake up. It's impossible. Nothing is going to change. But look! He says that he can do it! He can make this most hopeless situation turn around and show so many people his grace and love.

I just at this moment felt like he was saying to me "Your situation is the worst so that people can see me work mighty through you. So that people can see hope through your situation."

Anyway, when I came into work this morning, I was getting on Biblegateway.com to look up what I had read last night and today's Verse of the Day is that exact verse! It is the New International Version and it says it like this:
"God is able to do far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. He does everything by his power that is working in us. Give him glory in the church and in Christ Jesus. Give him glory through all time and for ever and ever. Amen.”

See, I am telling you that God is truly amazing! He is with me and this just proves it!
