Ephesians
3:16
Who is the strongest, most powerful player you’ve ever
competed with or against? What seemed to
be the source of that strength and power?
If you could access an even greater, limitless source of strength and power for your life, would you want some? Today’s scripture tells of such a source.
In his letter to the church at Ephesus at chapter 3 and verse 16, Paul
wrote, “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power
through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts
through faith.” Paul’s prayer for those
in Ephesus and
for us today is for God to give us the strength and power for Christ to fill
our hearts through faith.
The strength and power of the greatest competitors
comes from within. Their real strength
is not found in their muscles or even in their mental capacity. Strength and power are found in their hearts,
then they find expression outwardly.
God is gloriously rich in both strength and power so
we should expect that we will be given them in abundance. As Christ dwells in our hearts through faith,
this is a very natural occurrence.
As you compete today, do so with your whole
heart. Trust that God will provide the
strength and power to enable you to give your absolute best.
