Digging Deeper into the Word

Friday, Nov 18th Edition

Happy Friday!!! This week went by fast!

We are back into Ephesians One

15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you and your love for all the saints,

16 do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

Paul is writing  and expressing his approval, his gratefulness of their faith in Christ and their love for all saints. This should be the desire of all saints, yes, we are saints! That people would see the church, not as a place of rules and regulations but where people  who walk by faith and live in peace and love with each other.  Let this be said of my home, Jesus!! Jesus said, we would be known to be His disciples by our love.  How can we put this into every day action? Try giving time, food or money to a food pantry. Help those who can not help themselves this season. Help out your neighbors, share a kind word, do something random and in secret. Bless others just because you can!

During these upcoming months which can be so difficult for many, I pray we would be examples of His love and giving to those who need it. That we  would be lovers of all  people :)

Paul continues on that he does not cease giving thanks to God an praying for those believers in Ephesus. Ladies, we  too, must be women of prayer, giving thanks to our Heavenly Father for giving us churches to worship in and fellowship in. Let's continue to thank God for His many blessings! But let us also move outside the doors and love on all those we come in contact with! At the store, in the rush and bustle of this season, let us be gracious and loving, remembering why we celebrate :)

Ah, this is my favorite part of this passage. This is a constant prayer. That God would continue to give us wisdom and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. That we would have a spirit of wisdom and  of revelation of JESUS! He is the reason for our living here today! Let Him be our focus today!!


in His love,
