“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV). Is it a strange thing that we have a God who “is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power [Holy Spirit indwelling the saints] that worketh in us” (3:20), and yet we can become depressed about how things are not working out for us? Worse still, even some in the world have a more positive outlook on ‘why things are better than you think.’ Hans Rosling (1948-2017), a Swedish physician, geographer, and TED talk lecturer on global health, posthumously published a best selling book, Factfulness: Ten Reasons We’re Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think (2018). Possibly because the world considers such optimistic thinking useful to the world at large, even Bill Gates offered to purchase a copy of the book for any 2018 college graduate. However, any child of God is able to come before the Throne of Grace and claim the promise of Ephesians 3:20. Only sin, prejudice, or ignorance can prevent the results of Ephesians 3:20, which is far greater than even the unexpectedly positive TED Talks of Hans Rosling. Faith would dictate, we have a great God, who can accomplish so much more than the world can expect. “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31).
Father, You are the God of bold children. May we speak the truth before the world, which can deliver all to an unimaginably higher level of living than any thought possible. May we cling to You in prayer, as the only one who can bring this to pass. Rebuke the devourer. Lord Jesus, return quickly. In Jesus’ name, we ask it. Amen and amen.
