"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."
http://bible.us/Eph3.20.TNIV
The emphasis in vs. 20 is not to be placed on us...we dream up plans and God will work beyond us. This gives us too much control and limits God. Unstated behind this interpretation is 'if we don't imagine big God won't work'; that is some horrible theology.
Rather the emphasis is on God's "immeasurable" work that is beyond our comprehension. (“Infinitely beyond,” “far more abundantly than” NET Bible). And yet He works in us and His glory is seen in us His people, through His church!
This begs questions regarding: are we OK with God working in ways we will not understand? are we putting God in a box and demanding of Him how He is to work? will we allow God to work any what He wishes as He glorifies Himself?
