Scripture Reading: Ephesians 3:14-21
Focus Verse: Ephesians 3:20 “Now all glory to God who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
Our focus verse is a very powerful promise in God’s Word, but to have this power at work within us Paul says that as Christians "we need to be filled with all the fullness of God.” How do we do that? I think there are a number of things we should do to be filled with the fullness of God. We can start by kneeling humbly before God with a heart of faith. Then become rooted in and obey His Word. We seek to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind.
We can also answer “the call” he has placed on our lives. I believe that no matter what your profession is, God has called you to make disciples for His Kingdom. This is one area where God will "accomplish infinitely” more than we might ask or think. When a soul is won for Christ, that person will live forever in heaven. No end! Eternity is difficult to imagine.
God really does want to use us to spread the Gospel... that Jesus died for our sins, and invites us to repent and live in heaven with Him for all eternity. We could have no greater task in this world. Proverbs 11:30 says, “He who wins souls is wise.” I want to be doing something that will have lasting results for eternity, not for my glory, but for His Glory. How about you?
