Contemplative Bible Reading

Ephesians 3:20-21 (New International Version 2011)

²⁰ Now to him (God the Father) who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Paul is writing about God the Father (see verse 14). The Father is able to do immeasurably more. I have thought a few hours about that word “immeasurably.” I am not sure what it means. What comes to mind is something that we cannot measure, but how much is that? How big is that?

Anyways, the Father can do more than we can ask or imagine. I know some people who can “imagine a whole lot.” Regardless, the Father can go a distance farther than we can measure beyond what we can imagine.

Let me write something certain:

I have no idea how far that is.

And all I have to do is imagine and ask. I am so small; the Father is so big, and he knows me and cares about me. This has been one of those mind expanding days.
