Friday, January 27—Ephesians 2:19-22
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
- praise God for His presence, power and provision for us by His Spirit—for His gifts and abilities to us and to our fellow Christians
- praise God that He is building His church, both where we are and around the world, rescuing sinners from darkness and bringing them to His light
- thank God for His Holy Word, the Bible, that gives us the solid foundation of truth from which to grow and serve in knowledge and wisdom
- thank God that He designs to use each of us for His work in this world and especially in the lives of those around us
- look to God for how you are serving Christ with your gifts and opportunities, asking Him to use you for His sake
- ask God to grant you insight into what it means to grow with fellow believers as a holy temple in which He lives by His Spirit
