Meditation

Daily Devotions with A. W. Tozer.

Prayer

The Apostle Paul’s Prayer: Eph 3:12-21

In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.  I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

For this reason I kneel before the Father,

from whom his whole family

in heaven and on earth derives its name. 

I pray that out of his glorious riches

he may strengthen you

with power through his Spirit

in your inner being,

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts

through faith.

And I pray that you,

being rooted and established in love,

may have power,

together with all the saints,

to grasp how wide and long and high and deep

is the love of Christ,

and to know this love

that surpasses knowledge

that you may be filled to the measure

of all the fullness of God.

Now to him

who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,

according to his power

that is at work within us,

to him be glory in the church

and in Christ Jesus

throughout all generations, for ever and ever!

Amen.           

Find a moment of silence and reflect on the words,

“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints.”

           

A tree root spreads out in the soil, acting as an anchor against the storms and winds that blow.  We know that “God is Love.”  So let me ask you, are you rooted and established in Love?  Is your life exhibiting the power of God?  Are you living this alone or “together with all the saints”?  Pray about it.

           

Action

Make a plan to serve the Lord “together,” as part of the body of Christ and not just as a lone lamb.  Now go and make your plan happen.
