The Lord gives us the gift of His faith at salvation in order for us to accomplish all that He calls us to do (Matthew 17:20). We never walk alone, because God fills us with the fullest measure of His presence (Ephesians 3:19).
Kneeling before our Heavenly Father in prayer is the most liberating of Christian disciplines. We also feast on God's Word, follow the guidance of His Spirit every moment of the day, and pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
The families in heaven and on earth obtain our name from His existence. He provides for us out of His glorious riches; and through His Spirit, He strengthens our inner being with His power (Ephesians 3:14).
Regardless of our talents, economic status, gender, heritage or knowledge, obeying the Spirit’s promptings in our life helps us to succeed in God's will. Nothing is too hard for us, as we totally rely on Christ in us (Jeremiah 32:27; Luke 18:27).
This allows Jesus to dwell in our spirit and soul by our faith in His faithfulness. Since this plants and establishes us in His love, we operate in His power together with Christ's whole Body (Ephesians 3:15-16).
God's love is so magnanimous (Romans 8:35-39) that it is hard for mere mortals to grasp the width, length, height and depth of it. His love actually surpasses our ability as humans to understand it (Ephesians 3:17-18).
Prayer:
Father God, please prevent us from careening through life attempting to take advantage of one carnal opportunity after another. Fill us with the desire to live righteously in Christ Jesus. Thank You for sending Jesus, and for allowing us a place in His Body, so that the fullness of Christ fills all in all (Ephesians 1:23).
We feel so complete in Christ, who is our whole life (Colossians 3:3-4). Thank You for planning that we, His Body, shall appear with Him in Glory (Colossians 2:10). We glorify You for giving us Your fullness and grace (John 1:16); and for giving us Christ in us, because in Him dwells all of Your fullness.
Thought for the Day:
God fills us through all of our being with the fullest measure of Himself; this allows His faith, coupled with our experiences in His service, to perfect our faith as we daily walk through this life that He prepared for us.
- Ephesians 3:19; James 2:22
