Verse of the Day 10/2

Ephesians 3:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

16 I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit, 17 and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love,

My read through the New Testament plan has brought me to the book of Ephesians.  Today's verses are part of a prayer that Paul gives to the church at Ephesus and because it is included in the Bible it is for ma and it is for you.  I don't know what you may be facing today but I pray this for you.  That you may be strengthened with power in your inner self by the Holy Spirit and that Jesus would dwell in your hearts, strengthen your faith and that you would realize the depth of His love for you.

Do you often stop to thing of the length, width, height and depth of God's love? Do so today. Know that God loves you, He is with you. He is for you and He will strengthen you according to His will.

Incomparable kindness to less than the least.            Wes King - The Love of Christ
To the broken, the battered, and weak
To all who are hungry there comes a call
To be filled with the fullness of God
It's beyond all you can see
Farther than you'd believe
It's a mystery
My prayer for you is that you would know

CHORUS:
How wide, and how long, and how high, how deep is the love
How deep is the love of Christ

The width of two arms outstretched on a tree
The length of the road to Calvary
The height of the crown on a cruel cross
The depth of the pain is the cost
All for you, all for me
All for love did He bleed
All to set us free
My prayer for you is that you woul know

Blessings,

Mike

Ephesians 3:14-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Prayer for Spiritual Power

14 For this reason I kneel before the Father[a] 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named. 16 I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit, 17 and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, 19 and to know the Messiah's love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us— 21 to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
