God’s Truth for Trying Times - 1/13/22

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: Ephesians 1:18-19

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might [Ephesians 1:18-19 ESV] 

CONSIDER: Paul prays that the eyes of the believers who follow Jesus and love one another would be open to all the truth of the word of God and the experience of the work of God in and through his people. God works in magnificent ways, using his people for his purposes.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?

PRAY: Pray these verses to God as a prayer. Pour out your heart in praise to God. Pray for others. Present needs to Him.
