The Extravagance of God

 

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think….

-Ephesians 3:20a, KJV

God is God.

This means we are not. This is important to remember when suffering the awful injustices and losses of adultery discovery and divorce.

Just because we cannot see a way forward does not mean God is similarly limited.

It might look bleak right now. This is where I was in the initial separation and adultery discovery phase.

Yet God knew today–an amazing day beyond my wildest imagination– would one day be today.

Yes, God’s timing is not our timing. Yes, that abundant future God gives us might not be the one we imagined. 

However, my experience is the future God provides is usually much better than the one I could have dreamed up on my own. All we need to do is have faith in Him and trust that He shows Himself faithful to the faithful.

This has been true to my experience, and I give God the glory!
