We are chosen in order to praise and be for the praise of His glory

God has chosen and predestined us to share in His eternal inheritance of peace and glory.

In our last study, we reflected on the lavish - superabundant - nature of God’s grace - His redemption and forgiveness in Christ; we also saw that God also lavishes - imparts to us - His wisdom and understanding so that we see things and live in a new way. Today, building on this, we see how: The wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives leads us into an understanding of the mystery of God’s will.

Welcome to this Come to Jesus Daily Devotional (posted, at present, every weekday) as we Continue our Ephesians series: Ephesians - To the praise, for the purpose, in the power of God.

Today, as we begin our reflections in Ephesians 1:7-14, let’s be freshly impacted by the lavish nature of God’s grace toward us: Are we being filled with God’s lavish grace and His wisdom or are we being filled with things that rob us of joy and wisdom?
