Thought for Today

Strengthened with Might

“That he would grant you,
according to the riches of his glory,
to be strengthened with might
by his Spirit in the inner man”
Ephesians 3:16

The end and purpose of all ministry is to see His people strengthened to walk, stand and be living epistles read and known of all. The prayer expressed here is one born of a true heart that lives to see God’s Kingdom ruling and reigning within the hearts of His own; to be strengthened with the might and ability of the Holy Spirit to live righteously in this dark world by the resources of His Spirit. This strengthening is in proportion to the “riches of His glory”!

Let us this morning seek to avail ourselves of the riches and power made accessible to us in the person of Christ Jesus our Lord.

May we be strengthened to meet the obstacles and trials of the day.

Strengthened to walk above the temptations of the world around us.

Strengthened to love those who are contrary to us.

Strengthened to abide in the wonder of His embrace.

Such is the privilege of all who call upon His Name.
