What If It's More

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to His power.. ~ Ephesians 3:20

Every day I have a choice to make of who to listen to.  Fear says, “What if the future, the next step, this decision, etc., is not what I was expecting?”  God says, “What if it’s more?”  Courage is not moving forward because we are assured that the way is secure.  Courage is moving forward, believing that God is secure and we are secure in Him.  Every day, we are bombarded with voices, all clamoring for our attention.  The choice is ours alone, to which we will listen and follow.  Fear has the power to immobilize and shift directions.  But God has greater power.  It is God “who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to His power.”  God’s power can take our wrong turn and put us back on track.  God’s power can take our pain and use it for His glory.  God’s power can make something out of nothing.  But it begins with our choosing to follow His direction, His voice.

So when the enemy lies to you and says, “Why bother.  It’s not going to be what you were expecting it to be,” what will you do?  To whose voice will you listen and follow?

Fear says, “What if it’s not what you are expecting.”  God says, “What if it’s more.”

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear… ~ 1 John 4:18
