God’s Great Overflow

… I am the least …

1 Corinthians 15:9 (NLT)

[Now] … he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.

Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)

It is to Paul’s credit that he realized his own lowliness, but it is to his greater credit that he understood God’s great gifts and incredible power, and then, in light of this, that he pressed onward in faith. The Apostle Paul experienced this power and even touches our lives because he was willingly captured in God’s wondrous overflow of love.

Like Paul, we have little to boast about in and of ourselves, but we can boast about the love of Christ. And we can live out our Heavenly Father's spectacular plan for us. This should be our drive and desire: to grasp the infinite more that HE would accomplish in our lives. As we do, our single-hearted devotion will reveal more than we could ever imagine.

Are you willing to follow Paul’s example and use the gifts God has given, the circumstances of life He has allowed, and see what He will do?

I am.

Lord, I feel so small, but if You are willing, fill this life with Your greatness. Make it overflow with love and blessings for others. Amen.
