Verse of the Day 10/30
Ephesians 1:13-14 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee[a] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,[b] to the praise of his glory. English Standard Version (ESV)
I read a devotional this morning from Hebrews 10:23 which speaks of God's faithfulness. I' ll share it in the Amplified Version:
Hebrews 10:23 Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]; Amplified Bible (AMP)
No matter what we are facing we are called, challenged and encourage to hold on, to see it through because He who promised is faithful. The message is for me and as today's verses in Ephesians 1 they are for you to if you have heard God's truth and have believed and have been sealed with His promise.
David Jeremiah writes, "All three persons of the Godhead work together in concerted effort to make and keep every promise in the Bible. God the Father ordains them. Christ the Son purchased them for us with His blood. The Holy Spirit brings them to fruition in our daily experiences."
I encourage you today to siege and hold tightly to His promises, knowing that He is faithful and He will see you through.
In my moments of Fear
Though Every Pain Every Tear
There's A God Who's Been Faithful To Me
When My Strength Was All Gone
When My Heart Had No Song
Still In Love He's Proved Faithful To Me
Every Word He's Promised Is True
What I Thought Was Impossible
I've Seen My God Do
He's Been Faithful
Faithful To Me
He's been faithful, faithful to me
Looking Back He's Love And Mercy I See
Though In My Heart I Have Questioned
And Failed To Believe
He's Been Faithful, Faithful To Me (Damaris Carbaugh)
Blessings,
Mike
Ephesians 1:11-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)
11 In Him also we have [a]received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the [b]guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God's own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.
