Ephesians 3:20: "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."
"Immeasurably more" -- that phrase caught my attention as I was reading Ephesians 3. By definition, you cannot measure an "immeasurable" quantity. It is uncontainable, infinite, incomprehensible. Then the apostle Paul adds the word "more" to "immeasurable." "Immeasurably more," he declares.
If you're a Toy Store fan, you might think of Buzz Lightyear's phrase, "To infinity and beyond!" A math fan might think of "n+1".
The phrase reminded me of two things: the universe and Psalm 103:12. Scientists cannot quantify the vastness of the universe. Galaxy after galaxy of stars have been discovered; yet they know that more galaxies are undiscovered. Psalm 103:12 describes how far my sins have been removed from me: "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."
It shouldn't be surprised that our omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent God can do "immeasurably more" than we ask or imagine. His knowledge, power, and greatness is immeasurable. As Chris Tomlin sings, "How Great is our God!"
