اندیشه ها در مورد آیه امروز...
از بين تمامى اسامى خدا در كتاب مقدس، اين يكى محبوب من است:"او قادر است بينهايت انجام دهد." خداى ما همان خدايى است كه درياى سرخ را شكافت و در يك چمنزار به ٥٠٠٠نفر ساندويچ ساردين داد. او خواهان اينست كه بيشتر از خواست و فكر ما انجام دهد! متأسفانه بيشتر ماها براستى با روياهاى ضعيف و دعاهاى سطحى مان، او را به چالش دعوت نكرده ايم. بياييد براى خدا آرزوهاى بزرگ بكنيم. سپس انتظار آن چالشى را كه حتى ماوراى تصورات ماست، بكشيم. سپس براى آن سفرى انتظار بكشيم كه حتى فراتر از تصورات ماست!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Of all the names for God in the Bible, this is my favorite: "Him who is Able to Do Immeasurably More." Our God is the same God who parted the Red Sea and fed 5,000 on a green hillside with only a couple of sardine sandwiches. He longs to do more than we can ask or imagine! Unfortunately most of us haven't really given him much of a challenge with our wimpy dreams and shallow prayers. Let's dream big dreams for God. Then hang on for the ride that is more than we can even imagine!

My Prayer...
Almighty and Awesome God, do in our day what you did in past days. Give us faith to believe and then amaze us at how shortsighted our faith really was. Give us vision to see your plan and believe you long to do greater things. We ask this, not for ourselves or our reputation, but for your glory and the salvation of our world. In Jesus' name. Amen.
