I was reading Ephesians chapter 1 tonight…it starts out with a whole bunch of things we have in Christ (adoption, redemption, forgiveness, an inheritance, a hope, the holy spirit…) And then…”For this reason”… What we have in Christ should cause something in us: giving thanks and praying for the saints.
Pray for them that God will give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation. Pray that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened, that they may know the hope of His calling and the riches of glory of his inheritance, the surpassing greatness of his power toward those who believe… Eph 1:15-19a
