Today’s Reading | Ephesians 1:15-23
Enlightened Eyes
What kinds of things do you pray for? If God answered your prayers, what would happen in your life, in your unit, in your church or in your family as a result of your requests? If you ask for the kind of things Paul asked for in today’s reading, your life would never be the same. Look at some of the things Paul asks God to do in people’s lives here in today’s reading. In verse 18, he prays that their eyes would be opened so they could see three things. He knew that if the Ephesians could see these as clearly as God intended, they would never be the same. First, Paul wanted God to open their eyes to the hope they had. Second, he asked that they see the riches of the inheritance God had given to them. Third, he wanted God to open their eyes to the power that was available to them. Think what would happen in your life or in your church or in your family if you and others really began to see these three things the way God sees them. Start today asking God to open your eyes to all you have in Him. A sk Him to do the same for others. Ask Him to do what will really change lives. You and your family and your church will never be the same.
