"Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every
spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as He chose us in Christ before
the foundations of the world to be holy and blameless before Him in love"
(Ephesians 1:3-4).
Father God, I am one of
Your sons, a child of God, through Jesus Christ my Lord (v. 1:5-6). You have
forgiven me of my sins, cleansed them completely through the blood of the Lamb,
drawn me near to Your side and into Your will and plans for my life (v. 1:7-12).
You've filled me with Your Spirit, marked me with Your seal, and established for
me an inheritance in the Kingdom of God (v. 1:13-14).
Truly, I am blessed
beyond anything I can fully imagine or even begin to grasp. But help me believe.
Help me see my blessings-"every spiritual blessing" that is already mine in
Christ. Help me have a right mind, the mind of Christ, and have a good heart,
the heart of my Father, thankful for my blessings and not resentful for my
challenges. Empower me by the grace You have lavished upon me to live my life
before You in love in the ways that honor You most. In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love
of Jesus, Tommy
