“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21 NLT).
The apostle Paul closed his prayer at the end of chapter three with a beautiful benediction. He reminds us that all the glory (credit, thanks, honor, worship) belong to our omnipotent God. When we are able to rightly give God all the glory, we no longer limit what our all-powerful God might do through us. For His power is so great that we are unable to even ask or think of all that He is able to accomplish in and through us.
We read of the great things God has done in days gone by and we believe. Yet we doubt that He will do even greater things through us today. Could it be because we fail to give Him the glory due Him? What might God do through one who would give Him all the glory?
PRAYER: Dear Father, You are able to do all that You have decided to do. We give you the glory due Your Name today. Forgive us for taking credit or forgetting to honor You for even the smallest blessings You have bestowed on us. Today we are determined to give You all the praise and glory as Your mighty power works in us to accomplish all that You desire. Have Your way in us. Release Your Spirit to move and to save in our city, nation and world. We are amazed at You, O Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
