In the office devotion time this week, WT shared from 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, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.
This is exactly how I think as I prepare for TW STM. We prepare lessons, messages, testimonies, games. We have a theme, we have a skit with that theme. The only thing we don’t have are songs because no one on our team is musically inclined.
We go prepared, but at the same time, we are unprepared. We don’t know who we will be meeting and talking to, and we don’t know how people will respond.
I am looking to God to accomplish immeasurably more than we ask or even imagine could happen. If not for his power on it, we are merely performing a few good deeds, making little difference in people’s lives.
I am also looking to God to grow our team on the inside. We go as selfish people, impatient and critical – that’s me. He can change us more than we can ask or imagine, so that we will be more like Jesus, to the praise of his glory.

I think it is totally appropriate for God to accomplish immeasurably more than you ask or imagine could happen. I truly believe that it is the Word of God that does the work — all we do is proclaim it and live it out. I also like how you stated that without God’s power we’re only making little difference in people’s lives. You are helping people store up treasures in heaven where moth and rust cannot destroy. I will be praying for God to grow your team on the inside!
