God is able to do exceedingly above

God is able to do exceedingly above

When Abraham was just praying to be given a son, just to be made a father of a son, God was preparing him to be the father of nations. All he could have in his mind was just a son. He even went to the extent of taking Haggai who gave birth to Ishmael because God seemed to be taking long.

The Bible later in Matt 1:2 says, “and Abraham begot Isaac.” This gives proof of a God who is never late or never hurries. It is quite surprising that all the time Abraham and Sarah had been sorrowful, our God who sees tomorrow before it comes, saw the book of Matthew being written that Abraham had a son.

The God, who by the power of spoken word created the earth, is able to do exceedingly above.

When we think we have asked enough, when we think we have prayed for something so big, He always gives us more than we can ever imagine. When we may be praying for a certain breakthrough, and we have prayed, we always guess that the blessings will come in that proportion. But most of the times, they bypass and overflow.

God’s blessings are not limited to what we pray but to what he has in Heaven. Sometimes when we ask for a job, we think the lord will hear us and just give us a job, but beyond that He gives a job which is more satisfying to us.

Though at times sorrow strikes and all we can feel is like, God are you there? But there is always an assurance when we have called him, He hears us.

Even before we got into that problem, He had our lives in his mind and planned for it. He says and I know the plans that I have for you. Though a dead end may come knocking, there is the good work He has started in us. And He is ready to finish.

Imagine of that time when you did not know how to pray, that time you never knew that there is God, that time you never knew the much He can do. Is it not surprising that he still took good care of you, though you never prayed or even cared. That tells us God is not restricted to what we pray but he blesses according to the stores in heaven.

In the times of confusion and great suspense, when the Israelites had no way, he made a way in the sea. He is able to command anything on this earth to bless us. He is able to do Exceedingly Above.

Nothing can stop him. The same way he saw the lives of Israelites progressing he has also seen us prospering. He is more than we can imagine, he has more than we can ask for.
