Acts 4

All the believers were one in heart and mind.

No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own,

but they shared everything they had.

With great power the apostles continued to testify

to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,

and much grace was upon them all.

There were no needy persons among them.

For from time to time

those who owned lands or houses sold them,

brought the money from the sales

and put it at the apostles' feet,

and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

–Acts 4:32-35, NIV

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  . . . and to know this love that surpasses knowledge.”

A love that surpasses knowledge.  What does this mean to you? 

How great a love would this be?

How would knowing this love surpass knowledge?

Pray that you would know love.

           

Action

Spend time loving God and knowing His love.
