Immeasurably More

Ephesians 3:20 - 21 reads:
“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.” (NIV)

It’s no secret that life is hard. 

Life has a way of beating us down.   To avoid the hurt of dashed expectations, so often we find ourselves trying to shrink our own expectations.  If our expectations are small, it seems there is less chance those expectations won’t be met.  

The problem is our hearts are not wired for small things. 

God has placed something in each of us that longs for something bigger than ourselves.   I love the way Solomon describes this in Ecclesiastes 3:11 when he says “He has also set eternity in the human heart.”  

Ultimately, those longings are designed to draw us to the only one big enough to fulfill the longings of our souls.  

Despite these God-placed longings, our hearts still deceive us time and time again.   So often we can find ourselves desperately striving for things which don’t satiate.   We think if we can achieve this one thing or free up more time for certain activities, that life will be better.  

While it is very true that there are likely lots of things we all probably could and should do to spend our time more productively, the truth is that even our most productive moments  will not satisfy the type of longing talked about in Ephesians and Ecclesiastes.   The longing for “more” can only be satisfied in Christ alone.    

For me, this song serves as almost a dare to believe and open myself up to a God who is able to do immeasurably more.  I pray that we'd all be willing to dare ourselves to embrace that longing for something greater than ourselves.

My good friend Mark Allen again allowed me the privilege to record this song at The Loft Studios. Both he and his wife Kim also lent their musical talents.  It was wonderful having my good friends Randy Therio on guitar and Russell Loeffler on bass.  

We'll be continuing to place more songs on this page over the coming months.  Please feel free to enter your email below so I can keep you posted as they post.
