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.

--Ephesians 3:20-21

Jesus is in the business of opening doors for faithful Christians. Even in the most impossible of circumstances.

Today, you may feel how the Israelites felt when they were trapped against the Red Sea… with the Egyptian army behind them, and the mountains on either side of them. Talk about an impossible situation!

But what did God do? With a brush of His hand, He parted the waters and paved a highway right through the Red Sea… allowing the Israelites to escape Pharaoh’s army. He opened a door for them… and God can do the same thing for you!

“But wait, Pastor,” you say. “You don’t know how far in debt I am.” Or, “You don’t know how badly I’ve messed up my marriage.” 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 may be facing today.

Ephesians 3:20 reminds us 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 Christ. As I’ve said before, 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!

It’s my prayer that whatever your situation, no matter what you may be facing today, you will faithfully look to God and trust Him to open that door for you!
