Ephesians 3:20 (MSG): “God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!”

DAILY READING; Ephesians 5:1-20; Ezekiel 14-15; Isaiah 44

Bethany Hamilton got born again at a young age and began to develop great faith in Christ. Bethany’s foundation of faith became the backbone and source of strength that helped her to overcome a devastating accident when she was only 13 years old.

Bethany loved surfing and dreamed to become a professional surfer.
However, on October 31, 2003, young Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing off Kauais North Shore. The shark’s sharp teeth completely severed Bethany’s left arm. By the time she was rescued, she had lost over 60% of her blood, and had to undergo several surgeries.

Despite this tragic experience, Bethany refused to remain depressed. While at the hospital, she amazed the medical team with her positive attitude. Doctors believed her strong faith in God helped to get her through the traumatic ordeal.
Miraculously, just 26 days after the shark attack, Bethany returned to the water to continue surfing with only one arm. She didn’t let the handicap stop or deter her from pursuing her dream.
Finally, in 2007, at 17 years of age, Bethany realized her goal of becoming a professional surfer. She went on to win in several competitions and is now ranked among the top 50 female surfers in the world.
The film Soul Surfer released in 2011 was inspired by Bethany’s amazing story.
Today, Bethany Hamilton shares her faith in Jesus Christ with people around the world and has become a source of inspiration for millions.

Ephesians 3:20 (MSG) says “God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!”

Many times, people allow negative experiences to become excuses to settle into depression, regression and deterioration.
But no matter what you may have lost, God can take what is left and do more with it than you could have ever imagined.
We serve the God of limitless possibilities. He is the God of more than enough; He has more than enough grace, more than enough power, and more than enough resources to exceed our every expectation.
If God can cause a one-armed girl to be ranked among the top surfers in the world, the question is “What’s our excuse? Why can’t we accomplish the dream God has placed in our hearts”?

No matter what we may encounter in life’s race, we must never let it limit our dreams and visions. Anytime we encounter bumps on the road or the going gets tough, it can be tempting to throw in the towel, but the truth is that it is never over until God says so. We must keep faith alive and keep blessing the Lord.
Faith puts no limitations on God and God puts no limitations on faith. If you believe it, God can do it.
Whatever seems to be a limitation or handicap, has not disqualified you from the amazing race before you.
Despite the stumbling blocks, by God’s grace you can still arise, exceed every expectation and win.
Therefore stop looking at your limitations. Stop looking at the doctor’s report, stop looking at your bank account. Lift up your eyes and look up, your help will come from the Lord. Study the Word until your faith is built up to believe God for the miraculous. Certainly, when you believe, nothing will be impossible to you.

The truth is that you are capable of much more accomplishment than you realize. You have potentials for greater victories within you. It is not about you, it is about Christ in you, the hope of glory. It is not about your capability, it is about His ability at work in you.
Therefore today, do not limit yourself due to present circumstances. Do not settle for less than what God has ordained for you.
Inspite of the setbacks and delays, God can still cause your visions and dreams to come to pass.
Just remain joyful and keep judging God faithful.
As you keep blessing God, He will certainly release upon you the overtaker’s anointing to go past men’s expectations and break limits. You will be carried by wind of the Spirit, and ride on the wings of grace.
Indeed God will do for you far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! [Ephesians 3:20. MSG]

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to always remain joyful as I run life’s race. I know indeed that as I continually praise You, everything is turning around for me and You are exceeding my expectations in Jesus Name. .
