Ephesians 1: 9-10
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:Â That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
What of Today’s Verse…
Jesus is Lord! God’s plan was purposed in Christ. It centered on Christ coming at the right time. God’s plan was to bring unity in Christ by making him Lord of all! What’s more, this plan that brings our salvation brings God great pleasure. God is the only saving God and Jesus is both our Saviour and Lord. So the real issue we face today is this: What area of our lives, our hearts, our secrets, our sin, our rebellion, have we not submitted to his lordship?
Let us Pray:
O Precious Father, I know my heart can be deceitful. At times I can even fool myself. But when I kneel in your presence and am convicted by your Word, I find myself reminded of the areas I have not yet fully submitted to your control and Jesus’ lordship. Please, dear Father, use the Holy Spirit to gently show and convict of my self-deception so that I may be wholly lost in your will. Through Jesus, Lord of lords, I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Religions are different roads converging on the same point. What does it matter that we take different roads so long as we reach the same goal? I believe that all religions of the world are true more or less. I say “more or less” because I believe that everything the human hand touches, by reason of the very fact that human beings are imperfect, becomes imperfect.
