20 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to the power that is working in us,Ephesians 1:19 spoke of "the exceeding greatness of His power into us who are believing"—note that the verb is in the present tense; having believed yesterday won’t hack it, we must believe today. This tremendous power that God pours into us, as we believe, exceeds our powers of imagination. Well now, my personal horizon is limited and defined by my ability to imagine. Anything that I can’t imagine lies outside my horizon, and so obviously I won’t ask for it. I sadly confess that I have not yet arrived at a spiritual level where I can unleash this power—I have yet to make the truth in this verse work for me. But I understand that the truth affirmed here is literal, and I only hope that others will get there before I do (so I can learn from them), if I keep on delaying. The whole point of the exercise (verse 21) is for God to get glory [not for me to have a good time, although if I ever get there I will certainly have a great good time!], and to the extent that we do not put His power in us to work we are depriving Him of glory that He could and should have. 21 to Him be the glory in the Church in Christ Jesus, to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.The glory that God gets from the Church will go on forever.
Ephesians 3:20,21
