Abbey Cooper is an American runner, who is the most decorated Ivy League athlete in track and field and cross country running.
In the early years of her sporting career, Abbey used to suffer a lot of anxiety over her performance. When she was to run the women’s 5000-meter qualifying race in the 2016 Olympics, Abbey didn’t feel confident, but she decided to turn over her cares to God. She wrote on her hand Ephesians 3:20 as a reminder that God would do exceedingly, abundantly above her expectations. Indeed God surprised Abbey in unexpected ways by taking her to sudden global fame.
During the race Abbey had collided with a New Zealand runner and both women fell to the ground. As Abbey jumped to her feet, instead of continuing her race, she turned around to help the other fallen athlete to stand up. Due to the collision Abbey had suffered a serious injury in her right knee. But she continued running with her injury and essentially ran almost 2000 meters on one leg. All the while she was helping the other athlete to also keep running.
Abby’s gesture of selflessness drew admiration from Olympic fans and was reported widely in the media. Suddenly she was thrust into fame as Millions of people around the world celebrated her. Abbey used her newfound fame and media attention as opportunity to tell the world about her faith. In the end, the Scripture verse she had written in her hand during the race became her reality as God indeed exceeded her expectations.
We serve the God of excessive power and excessive grace. Throughout the scriptures we find expressed God’s excessive benevolence towards those that trust Him. God’s capacity to do far exceeds our capacity of asking. Whatever we can believe, we can receive from Him. And whatever we can conceive, we can achieve by His grace.
Truly, anything and everything is possible with God, and nothing shall be impossible to those who believe in Him. When we cast our cares upon God, He is able to do infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or imagine. However, it is only as far as our eyes can see, that shall be given to us, therefore it is important to build up our faith through diligent study of the Word. With enough faith in God we can move mountains and achieve incredible exploits.
As the year rounds up, do not limit what God can do for you. Trust Him for speedy accomplishments and expect the tables to suddenly turn in your favor.
Today as we come to the end of the month of October let us be deliberate in thanking God for His amazing goodness so far. Let us also confidently express our faith in His abilities to exceed our every expectations. No matter how contrary things may look right now, keep believing and remain expectant because great things are about to suddenly happen. Soon you will experience exceeding abundant blessings and supernatural overflow in ways and manners you never expected.
PRAYER:
Lord I thank You for all Your goodness and faithfulness this month. Please help me to stretch the limits of my faith and believe You to do yet exceedingly abundantly above all I can ever ask or imagine in Jesus Name.
