Tuesday, January 24 - Ephesians 1:11-13
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
- praise God for His might and wisdom that directs all events for His purpose
- praise God for our heavenly inheritance held for us and us for it
- pray for belief and trust and confidence in God’s providential workings in all things, including those that don’t make sense to you
- pray for a deeper understanding of what it means for our salvation and the salvation of others to be “to the praise of His glory”
- praise God for enabling you to hear and believe the word of truth
- praise God that you are sealed with the Spirit to belong to Him—now and forever
