Sit and Pray
This week it’s time to sit and pray. The Bible teaches us to live in an attitude
of prayer. That can be easier said than
done on many days. How often do you “really”
pray? Are you like me and find yourself
praying so you can check that activity off of your “to do” list for the
day? Or maybe you pray because you know
it’s expected, not because you want to encounter the Lord? I’ve been there, too. What keeps you from living the life of prayer
God intended for you?
Knowing God is the greatest treasure. This was one of Paul’s top prayers for the
Ephesians. What do you pray for your
siblings in Christ? How well do you know
God? How has prayer helped you to know
Him?
Being filled with God’s fullness is to have all that God
makes available to us so that He can show off His power on earth.
God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or
imagine according to His power that is at work in us. This is limitless power. This is resurrection power. This power is described by the Greek word for
dynamite, energy, mighty and strong.
This is the power we have to overcome, to forgive, to love and to deal
with difficult stuff. When you think of
it like that, it really sends the point home that, when we don’t forgive and
love as we’re instructed in Scripture, it’s not because we can’t. It’s because we don’t want to. How will you be changing how you live today?
Memorize: Ephesians
3:17b-19
