The riches of His glory.

There is an important thought here. When we pray we are to ask largely, and we are not to direct God concerning how He should answer our prayers. Because we are human beings of limited and meager resources, we often ask God in terms of what we suppose He is able to do.

God does not answer our prayers on the basis of our feeble understanding of His wisdom and power. His resources are not limited by what we have experienced or what we know of history.

Jesus taught us that all things are possible with God and that we should ask what we will, not what we think is possible according to our limited experience and faith.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. It strengthens us to read the Scriptures carefully and see what the Scriptures state God will do.

God does not answer our prayers in terms of what we have ever known or heard, or what our condition or the condition of the world indicates is reasonable. God is God. All things are possible to Him. The riches of His glory are beyond anything we can imagine were we to search our brain for many days.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not (Jeremiah 33:3).

"Which thou knowest not"!

God is God. God’s Word through Paul teaches us that God perfects His saints by His riches in glory, not by the limited resources of the saints’ personalities or the surroundings in which they find themselves.

God’s riches in glory are sufficient wealth to accomplish anything we can imagine. Let us look up to Heaven, to the Throne of God Almighty, for the strength and help we need. We are not required to deliver or heal or strengthen ourselves or to solve our own problems.

God is waiting for His saints to look to Him for His delivering power, His strength, His wisdom. When we do, the healing and strength and wisdom will flow down from the throne of the Almighty. We shall receive a share in the inexhaustible, limitless, infinite riches of God’s Glory.
