Hallelujah Jesus!

Truly. Really. Honestly. Hallelujah! The sound of giggles coming from the other room far outweighs any grumbling and growling that had previously taken place throughout the day. Jesus, You have truly blessed us this week. Exceedingly. Abundantly.

Mm. And now I get to sit in the quiet of a different room and allow another grandparent to take over the nighttime duties. Why? Because I asked for what I wanted. Why? Because that's what You've been teaching us to do. Thank You Jesus. Yes indeed. Thank You.

Mm. Yes. Thank You for Your excess and abundance. In various versions Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us”.

The Living Bible tells us, “Now glory be to God, who by His mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of – infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.”

And The Message, “God 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.” Hallelujah Jesus indeed!

Before continuing with Scripture, The Voice goes so far as to boldly subhead this section by saying This is a doxology of praise to the One with power that is beyond understanding. “Now to the God who can do so many awe-inspiring things, immeasurable things, things greater than we could ever ask or imagine through the power at work in us”.

Yes! “The power at work in us”. Thank You God. Keep working in us. I love You. Amen.
