Expecting Far and Beyond Favor

Ephesians 3:20 says, “God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond all we can imagine.” When you live a life that honors God by obeying His Word and you are a person of excellence and integrity, then the Scripture says that God’s blessings will chase you down and overtake you. You won’t be able to outrun the good things of God.

God doesn’t want you to have an average life with average relationships, just barely getting by. No, God desires that in all things you prosper in Him. He wants to amaze you with His goodness. He wants to mend broken relationships, bring healing, and do the impossible in your life. But too often, we let our past set the tone for our future and we’re not really expecting anything different. God wants us to shake off the old and embrace the new thing. He wants to do in our lives now, expect His far and beyond favor now. When your highest priority is to please the Lord and you make the decision that you’re going to keep your heart pure before God and do your best to honor Him, then His blessings will automatically follow, and you will experience His far and beyond favor!
