The Apostle Paul, paused in his letter to the Ephesians to pray for them and to bless them. Through these words, he does the same for us who read this. Take a few minutes to read it several times reflectively.
“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:14-21)
Here are a few questions to assist your reflection:
- How do you respond to Paul’s prayer and blessing?
- What thoughts are going through your mind as you reflect on this passage?
- How do Paul’s words affect your heart?
- Take a few minutes to share your thoughts and heart with the Lord.
Maranatha (Come Lord!),
