Have we ever said in our daily entries that today’s reading is rich? Well, we’ll say it again! Today’s reading is rich!

Eph 1:13
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,Sealed (Greek “sphragizo”) means we are preserved, fenced in, protected. Once we become a believer, God preserves and protects us. He fences us in. He stamps us with His signet or mark. We are HIS! Wow!

"And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms..."
Notice the use of the past tense verbs, raised and seated. God sees us in the future tense, as if we are already there!.

Eph 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.Ever stop to contemplate just what God has prepared for each of us to do? He offers us the job. It’s up to us. Do we take the assignment or allow someone else to be blessed by it? God has given us the spiritual gifts to do these “good works”.
Eph 4:12
to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
Eph 3:10
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,We, the church, the believers are the revelation of the mystery made known to the angels, both Holy angels and evil angels.

Eph 3:12
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.This is an amazing promise verse, witnessed by the following verse.
I Jn 5:14
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.We can approach our Heavenly Father with confidence! Not in an arrogant way, but with confidence that if we are in His will, He will hear us!

Eph 3:16-20
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. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,It’s bigger than we can know! Get hold of this part of the passage, “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,”If we imagine that the Holy Spirit that is at work in us is LIGHT. What we do with that light is up to us. We can tap into the LIGHT and use the power as a night light or a flood light.

We could continue this blog entry for several more pages, but will stop here. Read this letter of Paul’s again to the church at Ephesus and be blessed!
