"This scripture is not simply saying God is able to bless us in a great way or with abundance; of course, He can and does. It is telling us that God is able to exceed what we as mere humans consider to be abundance. If we think what we have is an abundance, then we have fallen short on our understanding of what God can do. If we can imagine it, then God can exceed it. Therefore, after the phrase "exceeding abundantly" comes the phrase "above all that we ask or think." God does not limit what He can do for us; only we can do that "according to the power that worketh in us." In other words, only our level of faith in God limits how far He exceeds our expectations. Be clear: abundance is not just about how much money or material possessions we have; it's more about the peace we can experience amid our abundance."
