Ephesians 3:14-19 (NLT) When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
This passage alone could be the basis for months of devotionals, and yet that would be insufficient to discover all the wonderful truths contained within it.
· Meditating on God’s Word causes me to fall on my knees and pray
· Pray to the Father—OUR Heavenly Father—MY Heavenly Father
· The Father who created everything in heaven and on earth
· God’s resources are glorious and unlimited
· God empower us with inner strength through his Spirit
· Jesus Christ, our Savior, makes his home in our hearts
· Place my trust in Jesus—for my salvation and every circumstance I may face
· Trust in Christ causes my roots to grow in God’s love
· God’s love keeps me strong
· Prayer supplies means for understanding God’s love
· The scope of God’s love—its width, length, height, depth—is all encompassing
· The love of Christ—that he should die for me—is too great to understand fully
· Yet in all of this, I can be made complete because it is the fullness of life and power that comes from God to all who believe in Him
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Your love is beyond my comprehension. The only response I have is to offer my humble thanksgiving and praise to you. Thank you for the gift of salvation through the shed blood of your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. It is a gift far greater than I deserve. I am forever grateful.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
