Omnipresent = Present everywhere 
Omniscient = Criterion of truth 
Immutable = Never changes 

“…according to the power at work within us…” – v. 20b

2. God wants to do things in us far more than for us 
Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is the difference maker (Ephesians 1:17; 3:5,16; 5:18-19; 6:17-18; Romans 8:9-11; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Psalm 34:8)
• Slow down – hurry quenches the Spirit
• Wrestle with Truth
• Meditate on the cross
God doesn’t need you; He wants you

“…to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” – v. 21

3. God’s glory is what should settle everything
It’s easy to want God’s blessing more than His glory
Glory asks what God wants
