Day 1: Bowing Before the Father Reading: Ephesians 3:14-15 Devotional: Today, we reflect on Paul’s posture of humility as he bows before the Father. This act of submission reminds us of our place in God’s family and the reverence we owe Him. Consider how you can humble yourself before God today. Are there areas in your life where you need to surrender control and bow before His wisdom and love? Take a moment to physically bow or kneel, acknowledging God’s authority and expressing your willingness to follow His lead.
Day 2: Strengthened by God’s Riches Reading: Ephesians 3:16-17 Devotional: Paul prays for believers to be strengthened through God’s glorious riches. This strength isn’t physical, but an inner fortitude that comes from the Holy Spirit. Reflect on times when you’ve felt weak or inadequate. How can you tap into God’s unlimited resources to face your challenges? Ask God to fill you with His Spirit today, empowering you to love others, forgive, and persevere in faith. Remember, Christ lives in your heart through faith – let His presence be your source of strength.
Day 3: Rooted in Love Reading: Ephesians 3:17-19 Devotional: The image of being rooted in love speaks to the foundation of our faith. Like a tree with deep roots, we’re called to be grounded in God’s love. Consider what you’ve built your life upon – success, relationships, or material possessions? How can you deepen your roots in God’s love? Spend time meditating on the vastness of Christ’s love – its width, length, height, and depth. Allow this incomprehensible love to be your anchor in both calm and stormy seasons.
Day 4: Filled to the Measure Reading: Ephesians 3:19 Devotional: God desires to fill us completely with His fullness. Picture yourself as an empty vessel, waiting to be filled with God’s love and presence. What areas of your life feel empty or lacking? Invite God to pour His love into those spaces. Remember, God can always add more – He’s not limited by our capacity. Ask Him to expand your ability to receive His love and to overflow with it towards others.
Day 5: Immeasurably More Reading: Ephesians 3:20-21 Devotional: Our finite minds cannot grasp the infinite power and love of God. He is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. Reflect on your prayers and dreams – how might you be limiting God based on your own understanding? Challenge yourself to pray bigger prayers, to dream God-sized dreams. Whatever situation you’re facing, remember that God’s ability far exceeds your need. Close your devotional time by giving glory to God, acknowledging His power and praising Him for His boundless love and grace in your life.
