“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” – Ephesians 3:20-21
As humans, we can, at times, become nearsighted. We get consumed by what is right in front of us. Our world is only as big as conversations happening on the screen in our hands. Our routines hold us captive, and we go through life on “repeat.” This is true in our lives, and this is WAY truer in our faith.
Because as humans, we can, at times, become nearsighted in our view of God. We forget that there is a God who is eternal. We lose sight of God’s plan, missing the “way-more-than-we-could-possibly-imagine” future God has for the world and for us. But, it doesn’t have to be this way.
The truth is that God, the eternal, unchanging, all-powerful, gracious, loving God makes Himself known to us. We just have to WANT to know Him.
