Reflection on Ephesians 1:1-10

Scripture

Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for the spiritual blessings that Christ has brought us from heaven.

Observation

What a list of blessings is given here

  • Before creation Christ chose us

  • He adopted us

  • He showed us grace

  • Christ sacrificed His life-blood

  • Our sins are forgiven

  • He reveals His mysterious ways

  • Christ, in the fullness of time, will bring together everything in heaven and on earth

Application

God has blessed us with every blessing in Christ. When I am feeling down I need to look up to Him.

I really am blessed. There is nothing that I lack because God supplies everything I need, in great abundance.

When I choose to focus on what He has done for me, the joy of the Lord really is my strength and mourning turns to dancing.

Prayer

Thank you Lord- Father, Son and Holy Spirit- for your amazing, overflowing and abundant grace. Help me to always give thanks in every situation. Amen.
