I
pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together
with all the saints, to grasp how wide and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -- that you may be filled to the
measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians
3:17-19
New
International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT
TODAY'S VERSE...
Love
that surpasses knowledge. That's very difficult to explain, but when you have
loved your spouse for decades you experience what this means. When you love a
child and do what you never dreamed you could do for another human being, you
understand this phrase. And when you stand before God, adopted as a full heir
of all his great riches, a full sibling to Jesus Christ the Lord, and know you
are seen as holy, without reproach, and blameless, you begin to understand this
phrase.
MY PRAYER...
Holy
and incredible God, help me to know in my soul the love that is greater than
words and knowledge so that I may not only be like you, but that I may know you
in experience just as I know you in faith. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Your
kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”
(Matthew
6:10, NIV)
TODAY’S WORD from
Joel and Victoria
God
longs to give you a glimpse of heaven while you are here on earth. He wants to
show you His wonderful plan and bring it to pass in your life. Have you ever
thought about how God’s will is accomplished in heaven? In heaven, God’s will
is automatic. There are no opposing forces of darkness or anything that would
come against His will. On earth, His will is activated in our lives when we
receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior; and then, we must choose His will on a
daily basis in our thoughts, words and actions. On earth, we have to stand
against the forces of darkness and refuse those negative, self-defeating thoughts
that come against His will.
Today,
open your heart to the will of God which is the Word of God. As it says in
Ephesians 6, you will be empowered by your union with Him. Declare what God
says about you and be empowered to overcome opposition. Stand strong in faith
and see God's will come to pass in your life just as it is in heaven!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly
Father, I humbly come to You today and invite Your will to be done in my life.
I submit every area of my heart to You. Let everything I say and do bring glory
to You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
