THE DYNAMICS OF STRENGTH Ephesians
3:14-21
May God grant you
according to the riches of His glory to be mightily strengthened through and by
the power of the Word!
As Paul prayed
for the followers of Lord Jesus Christ in Ephesus those many years ago, I pray
for you. We should pray in kind for one another . . . for life without inner
courage (as opposed to outward facade) is a terrible business.
Consider 3
dynamics of the strength God offers:
·
We trust Christ to the point of His abiding in
our innermost being; mind, emotion, will . . . never forgetting His is a
permanent residency. (2Cor.1:22; Eph.1:13, 30)
·
Understand and accept - allowing facilitation of
the flawless purpose of His indwelling power: That we be unshakably rooted and
grounded in and by His love. (Jn.17:26)
·
Rejoice in and be amazed by His empowering: The
fact that we may be filled with the fullness of God! (Eph.3:19; 1Jn.4:4)
There is however
one that can seriously hinder His blessed provision of strength: self-reliance
when lacking “mustard seed” faith. Let us pray for one another in this. EBB4
