My wife and I had the rare opportunity to spend some focused time with one of our four daughters a few weekends ago. When It came time for dinner I asked her where she wanted to eat. I told her to pick anywhere. Her response was “I don’t know”. After several iterations of me asking and her responding “I don’t know” I all but gave up. I gave her one more chance and asked in the calmest voice I could possibly muster and her response was “Um, I don’t know…Sonic” REALLY?! I gave her the opportunity to eat ANYWHERE and she picks Sonic! I just got paid so I was thinking Ruth Chris and she’s stuck on Sonic!
Ephesians 3:20 “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.” Reading this verse I am reminded of my daughter wanting Sonic and how in my life so many times I limit God by my pea brained prayers and shallow faith. I lose sight of the fact that He has taken the engine out of my Yugo of a life and put a Hemi in it! My desires and prayers are like me asking for Sonic yet He wants to throw me a feast. I trust that He has saved my soul from eternal damnation yet I struggle with trusting Him fully in my daily life. Things that make you go hhmmm…
