Ephesians Lesson 1/Day 8 (Eph. 1:15-23)

In a way, flying on an airplane is like our walk with Christ. We can zoom across the nation, cross the sea, go anywhere in just a few hours because of the power of an airplane. Here’s the deal though, we have to trust the plane enough to get on board and let it carry us. In the same way, living in the power of God can enable us to live a truly astounding life even in the face of incredible trial and stress. How can we really live in joy, victory, obedience and commitment if we are not relying upon the power of the Spirit that we have in Christ? Does it thrill you to think that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in you? It doesn’t always thrill me - just being honest. I know I have that power, but I don’t continuously live with the truth of that power present in my mind. I’m too often stumbling in my sin, living in weakness, tripped up by my selfish thought life...instead I want to not just know “what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe” I want to step aboard and let it enable me to fly – to soar in His power “above all rule and authority and power and dominion.” What a great reminder for me – for us all - today!
