Living Out Our Calling (May 29)
The Ephesians had unlimited
spiritual wealth at their disposal,
yet they lived as spiritual paupers.
So Paul wrote to encourage them
to claim their heavenly resources.
Only then could they draw on them for their earthly walk. And In Christ,
Christians are endowed with every
spiritual blessing as well as adoptn,
redemption, inheritance and power.
Lord, thanks for giving wonderful
spiritual blessings to Your body.
Praise U for being not just creator
and sustainer but also head of
the church. Because You Christ is
central to everything, help us Lord
place priorities under Your control.
Help us to Seek Your Ways;
Help us to Be Your Workmen;
Help us to Adore Your Love.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Lord, we will Seek Your Ways:
(I pray) that the eyes of your heart
may be enlightened in order that
you may know the hope to which
He has called you, the riches of His
glorious inheritance in the saints,
and His incomparably great power
for us who believe (Eph 1:18-19)
Lord, I pray that the eyes of my
heart will be opened to see the
Hope to which You have called me.
Help me to understand my true
Inheritance; and enable me to
comprehend the magnitude of
Your Power for I believe in You.
I seek more of Your presence
and Your power so that I can see
them manifested in my life. Amen.
Lord, we will Be Your Workmen:
For by grace you have been saved
through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God…
For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good
works, which God Prepared
beforehand that we should
Walk in them (Eph 2:8-10).
Father, thank You for giving me
an enriching life that will never end.
Thanks for capacity to change and
help me grow to be more like Jesus
Give me spiritual gifts to serve
others. Work in me & through me.
Help me lead a purposeful life,
be a blessing to others and
thereby glorify Your name. Amen.
Lord, we will Adore Your Love:
May your roots go down deep into
the soil of God’s marvellous love.
And may you have the power to
understand, as all God’s people
should, how wide, how long,
how high and how deep His love
really is. May you experience
the love of Christ, though it is
so great you will never fully
understand it (Eph 3:17-19).
Lord, I want to understand and
experience Your Love in a deeper
way than I ever have before.
May Your love be my anchor
as Your Spirit causes my roots
to sink deeper in You. Grant me
the power to really understand
the limitless extent of Your love.
Reveal Yourself to me each day
and be the center of my life. Amen.
