Unlimited
What would you do with unlimited resources?
Would you buy a yacht, plane, or skyscraper? Help eliminate world hunger? Travel the world? Fund cancer research? Ensure that every orphan has a safe place to live? Would you mostly think about yourself, or would think about others?
It’s hard to imagine having no limits. We’re in constant need of food, water, air, and sleep. But unlimited is who God is.
Writing to the first-century church in Ephesus, the apostle Paul said this:
“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.”
Ephesians 3:16 NLT
Will you pause for a moment and consider what it means to truly be unlimited? To have every resource imaginable at your fingertips? To never need food. To never get tired. To never get distracted. To never have a single need.
Nothing is too hard for God, and He wants to empower His people.
If you keep reading through the end of the chapter, Paul wants the Ephesians to be empowered with God’s Spirit—by means of His unlimited resources—so that their roots will grow deep, His Spirit will keep them strong, and they’ll be able to experience the depth and fullness of God’s love.
It’s an ongoing mystery why He chooses to use His imperfect people to accomplish His purposes. But that’s exactly what He wants and that’s exactly what He’ll do.
So, when you feel tired or overwhelmed, discouraged, or completely shattered, remember: God’s resources are unlimited. The possibilities are endless. And He specializes in making all things new.
Rejoice in Every Season
It’s difficult to be joyful in every season—but especially within seasons of change, difficulty, or loss. Paul, the author of the letter to the Philippians, could probably relate. While writing his letter to the Philippians, Paul was sitting in a jail cell under Roman guard (Acts 28).
Even though Paul was in a difficult situation in life, he still wrote to the church in Philippi and encouraged them to always rejoice. He also said that they should pray to God rather than worrying or being anxious about situations (4:6). They should request what they need from God with thanksgiving.
Paul’s teaching is this: regardless of our circumstances, there is always a reason to praise God.
If we learn to rejoice in every season, and submit to God in prayer rather than becoming anxious, then God’s peace will be with us in our heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).
God has given us everything we could hope for. As we believe in Jesus, we receive the forgiveness of our past ...
