I am not surprised by God's ability to bless us. I mean, let's face it, He spoke and the universe blinked into existence. He spoke again and our planet was prepared for us. He spoke yet again and we were created. So there is no doubt in me about His ability. Paul reminds us that God is ABLE to do more than we can ask or even imagine!
What amazes me (lately) is His willingness to bless us. He continues to give us things we take for granted (air to breathe, sunshine to warm us, family to love, etc.) even when many of us give Him very little in return. He pours out Grace when we turn our back's on Him. He uses us, ordinary people, to do extraordinary things in the lives of others. We can make someone's day just by smiling at them (and we may not even realize we smiled)! We can feed families on the coins we find in the cushions of our furniture when we combine our efforts!
Lastly, what overwhelms me the most is that He allows me to be a part of His plan to reach those who are lost with the Good News of Jesus, with food for their souls (and their bellies), with healing for their sicknesses, and compassion for their broken hearts. Me? Broken, imperfect, often lazy, ME!?!? And you...and you...and you, too!
Have a blessed day in His Presence!
