The Sky Is Not Our Limit
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen! --- Ephesians 3:20-21

I like to ponder over what we are really saying to each other when we use certain statements in general conversations. 'The sky is the limit' is one of those statements. When I got through meditating on today's scripture verse and realizing that there are no caps or boundaries on what we can do through the power of Jesus, I said out loud,  "There is no limit to the sky we fly in!"  I thought about how we use small measures in our prayers when we ask God to send us 'just a little' breakthrough or help us to ‘just get through this or that' - those are 'limited sky' prayers. But when we pray abundant prayers, we activate our faith to expect God’s overflow that will meet our needs and provide excess to share with others. Operating within the constraints of this world does make the sky appear to be the highest point we can reach. But my spirit knows that our canvas of possibilities is the vast height, width, and depth of God's space and time, and for us - we have no limits!
