    More Than I Can Imagine

    Monday, July 15, 2019

    I chose the word “imagine” for 2019 based on Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” And He has proven that over and over for me personally as well as in our ministry this year.

    I would like to share a recent devotion with you today on this topic.

    Come to Me with all your weaknesses: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Rest in the comfort of My Presence, remembering that nothing is impossible with Me.

    Pry your mind away from your problems so you can focus your attention on Me. Recall that I am able to do immeasurably more than all you ask or imagine. Instead of trying to direct Me to do this and that, seek to attune yourself to what I am already doing.

    When anxiety attempts to wedge its way into your thoughts, remind yourself that I am your Shepherd. The bottom line is that I am taking care of you; therefore, you needn’t be afraid of anything. Rather than trying to maintain control over your life, abandon yourself to My will. Though this may feel frightening—even dangerous, the best place to be is in My will.

    When we take our hands off of our life and situations, He will do more than we can imagine!

    Help us continue providing resources of care for pastors and their families.
