Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
To him be the glory. I think it's part of who we are that we want credit for what we do -- what we write, what we say, our list of accomplishments (though not always our failures), and our place in life. Yet we're reminded through this letter to the people in Ephesus that it's God who works within us to accomplish far more than we could on our own.
In fact, the scripture reads "far more than all we can ask or imagine," that's where the glory should go. Thinking too much about the time-space continuum of something that we can't imagine begins to hurt the brain a little bit, but there's also a beauty in recognizing that God's power that is at work within us, is so much bigger than we can even dream. So dream big and the give the glory to God, because God's power is so much more, always.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
