Title: Trusting God To Open a Door

Scripture: Ephesians 3:20-21

Passage
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Thoughts
Jesus is in the business of opening doors for faithful Christians. Even when the circumstances seem impossible. Today, maybe you feel like the Israelites felt when they were trapped against the Red Sea... with Egypt's army behind them, and the mountains on either side of them. That must have seemed like a pretty impossible situation! But what did God do? With a wave of His hand, He parted the waters and paved a highway right through the Red Sea... allowing the Israelites to escape from Pharaoh's army. God opened a door for them... and God can do the same thing for you! You might say "But wait---you don't know how far in debt I am." Or, "You don't know how bad I've messed up." And you know what? I don't know. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW is that the size of your God will determine the size of the way He blesses and delivers you from whatever Red Sea you might be facing today. Ephesians 3:20 says that God "is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us." Do you really believe this? Maybe you've been waiting for God to part the waters in your life for a while now... and you're starting to lose patience. If so, stay faithful. Keep your eyes on Jesus. If you're a child of God, He's got His eye on the clock and His hand on the thermostat. He won't give you more than you can bear! I want to encourage you that whatever your situation, no matter what you might be facing today, you'll faithfully look to God and trust Him to open that door for you!
