20‭-‬21 God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Glory to God in the church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus! Glory down all the generations! Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes! Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/eph.3.20-21.MSG  our God establishes us, roots us and grounds us in Him. Our God does not bully us, that is the work of the enemy of our souls, Satan. He comes against us with accusations,  condemnation, discouragement. Currently I have been watching the Olympics and can only image the pressure the athletes are under. Some have been devastated with failure. I wonder what the thoughts are running through their heads?  Praise God He is for us! Amen!

rooted and grounded

20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20‭-‬21 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/eph.3.20-21.NLT This chapter in Ephesians is pack full of God's power.  From verse 16 Paul is praying: 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:16‭-‬17‭, ‬19 NLT The sentence: 'your roots will go down into God's love and keep you strong' is beautiful. God's love has the power to keep us strong...
