Another Dimension

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.”—Ephesians 3:20 NASB

During the three years he spent in Ephesus, Paul taught the believers there many basic truths (Acts 20:31). Yet the letter he wrote to them is filled with reminders of a deeper dimension.

Regardless of what they knew, there was much more to learn. Regardless of how much they understood, there was much more to understand. Regardless of what they had experienced of God’s power, much more was available.

They might have thought they could imagine great things, but no matter what they had asked in prayer, it was not big enough. They were not daring enough. God was “able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think.”

They might have thought these dimensions were possible only for great leaders like Paul, but he reminded them this power was available to everyone.

This theme continued throughout his letter. Paul had prayed they would experience “the boundless greatness of His power toward us who believe.” He wanted them to realize this was true for all believers (Ephesians 1:15–23).

No matter what we have experienced, we have only scratched the surface of all God can do. There is much more to learn. We must shatter every limit we have imposed on Him, for He can do much more than we can imagine.

Pray that God would open your eyes so that you might be able to go deeper into new dimensions.

Reflection Question: Recall a time when God did abundantly more than you imagined.
