A great lie exists when we believe we are unworthy of the good things of God for today. So many struggle to be worthy to receive from Him and miss the beauty, wonder and awe of what is ours, today. How will you change your step to align with these truths?
Today (now), according to Ephesians 1:3-14, you have or are,
Blessed with every spiritual blessing…in Christ
Chosen…in Him…before the foundation of the world
Predestined to adoption…according to the good pleasure of His will
Accepted…in the Beloved
In Him…redeemed
In Him…forgiven of sins
Have wisdom and prudence abounding toward you…in the riches of His grace
Know the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself
In receipt of an inheritance…in Him
Predestined by His purpose
Trusting…in Him and sealed with Holy Spirit of promise
“May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may now what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according the working of His mighty power” (Ephesians 1:17-19)
Read this a second time and allow yourself to pause. Where does He catch your breath? What word(s)? What truth buts up to the lie around you? Close your eyes for a brief moment and consider the truth; breathe, slowly, gently and ask Him to reveal the truth of these words that are caught in your heart. Listen…quietly…with a willingness to hear…the truth WILL set you free.
