Ephesians 2:4-7
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us…raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus"

Oftentimes, people set their focus on what God has done in the past—how He parted the Red Sea or stopped the sun for Joshua or fed thousands of people with just a little boy’s small lunch. Yes, God has performed many amazing miracles throughout history, and it’s important that we give Him praise and glory, but at the same time, we also have to look forward to what God wants to do in our lives today. In this verse, Paul says that “in the ages to come God would do things that far supersede anything He’s ever done before.  I believe that the “ages to come" that He’s talking about is this day and time we’re living in right now.  God wants to outdo Himself in our generation.

Remember, God is a God of increase.  Where you are today is not where you are supposed to stay.  He has greater levels of His favor and blessing in store for you.  Dare to dream big! Dare to keep a God-sized, vision in front of you at all times.  Dare to take hold of every blessing that the Lord has in store for you.

Today's thought: Lets open and hearts and minds so we can see the greatness of what God wants to do in our loves.
