AUGUST 23 – LEAD

08/23               Ephesians 4:1 

Therefore, I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. 

LEAD

Choose whom you will follow.  Will you follow the world and deny God’s power or will you follow Jesus and believe that the Lord loves you and will give you the power you need for living?  Jesus loves you. 

 

 

AUGUST 22 – ASK

08/22               Ephesians 3:20-21 

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

ASK

Remember to ask the Lord for what you need.  The Lord will hear and He will answer and you can be confident that His activity in your life is greater than anything you might think or ask. 

 

 

 

AUGUST 21 – YOU

08/21               Ephesians 3:19 

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 

YOU

Whatever you are doing now you can be sure that the Lord is aware of it.  He knows everything about you.  Jesus loves you fully and completely.  You will never plumb the depths of Christ’s love for you.  It is an amazing love that will equip you to stand in the face of any storm. 

 

 

AUGUST 20 – COMPLETE

08/20               Ephesians 3:17-18 

Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 

COMPLETE

We are complete in Christ.  He is God’s everything.  We have everything we need for a Christ like life in Jesus Christ.  Turn to Jesus.  Let Him lead you step by step in a Godly lifestyle. 

 

 

 

AUGUST 19 – STAND

08/19               Ephesians 3:14-16 

When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 

STAND

Whatever you are facing you can make it.  His strength in you will equip you to stand in the face of the onslaught of the powers and principalities of the air and still keep moving forward under His leadership.  Jesus will see you through. 

 

AUGUST 18 – COME

08/18               Ephesians 3:12-13 

Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.  13 So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored. 

COME

The Father encourages us to come.  We can approach Him in Christ.  Jesus gives us His righteousness.  We can go to the Father with everything we have on our heart and then some.  Pray. 

 

 

 

AUGUST 17 – PLAN

08/17               Ephesians 3:9-11 

I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning.  10 God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.  11 This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. 

PLAN

You are God’s plan, your life, your experience and your contacts.  People need people and we are His minsters.  Jesus is Lord.

 

AUGUST 16 – AVAILABLE

08/16               Ephesians 3:6-8 

And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus. 7 By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News. 8 Though I am the least deserving of all God’s people, he graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasures available to them in Christ. 

AVAILABLE

We have everything we need to live a Christ like life in Jesus.  He available to us as a free gift from God and He is God’s everything.  Jesus loves you.  He will lead, guide and direct your life if you will surrender your will to Him.  Rejoice.  Jesus is alive. 

 

AUGUST 15 – PLAN

08/15               Ephesians 3:4 

As you read what I have written, you will understand my insight into this plan regarding Christ. 5 God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets. 

PLAN

God’s Plan for you is Jesus Christ.  Jesus is God’s everything.  Get to know Him.  He has a plan for your life.  He wants you to know that plan.  Time spent with Jesus is time well spent. 

AUGUST 14 – REVEALED

08/14               Ephesians 3:1-3 

When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles 2 assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles.  3 As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. 

REVEALED

Everything that the Lord has for us has been revealed in Jesus.  He is God’s everything.  When you have Jesus you have everything that you need for leading a Godly life.  Whatever you need you can turn to Jesus for it.  He will give you wisdom, mercy and grace and will equip you to do that which the Lord has called you to do.  His plan for you is perfect.
