#soap # Ephesians 01 ## Title: Understand His Greatness ## Scripture: (Ephesians 1:19-20) “and what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, as displayed in the exercise of his immense strength. This power he exercised in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms” (NET) ## Observation: One of Paul’s prayers for the church was to understand just how great the power of God is. This doesn’t mean we have an actual knowledge of how God’s power works or have an exact knowledge of when and where God moves. Paul is saying, “I want you to understand how great God is. Whatever you think is possible, He’s greater. Understand that He is greater and more amazing than you can imagine.” He is hoping we would have a bigger vision of who God is than we currently do. He wants us to take God out of the box we have placed Him in and allow Him to overwhelm our expectations. We learn about God’s ways by reading His Word. He has described Himself there. That’s why we read His Word. We learn about Him and sit back in awe and wonder. ## Application: Never think you have God fully figured out. Spend time thinking about how God is even bigger than your imagination can hold. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being greater than our capacity to understand. Omnipresent. Omnipotent. Omniscient. Omni-Benevolent.
