Faithful and Generous God
“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, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21 WEB)
Yes it is right to not expect much from fallible man, but you can have full confidence in God!
“For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.”” (Romans 10:11)
When God exceeds your prayer request, sometimes you may not realize it at first because it’s different from the picture you conceived in your mind.
However, trust Him because He can see the future. God clearly knows the difference between what is good for you, and what only appears good but will actually cause you to stumble and fall.
Looking back, I am grateful for the way things turned out, and I can see God’s plan in motion, like how a master sculptor skillfully chips away at a rough slab of stone. I am sure many of you can relate to this.
“Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”” (John 13:7 WEB)
Looking forward, we may not know what the future holds, but we can trust Jesus that He will cause all things to work together for our good.
Even if you do not understand what He is doing now, you will understand later when you look back at the faithfulness and generosity He has shown in your life!
God makes everything beautiful in its appointed time. This is the revelation that gives peace to a heart that has been shaken by many disappointments. We must understand God’s system of times and seasons to enjoy fruitfulness in every season through His grace that is available to us:
