If you’ve read my blog at any time there is a goal to it and a prayer of the writer. See I pray often that it not be about me but that it will glorify God. I also pray that God will draw the reader closer to himself. The blog is meant to Point the reader to hope found in God’s Word because he is the true source of hope. I found this beautiful passage in Ephesians I wanted to share with you and part of it mentions “the hope to which he has called you.”
Ephesians 1:15-23
“For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, May give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”
Hope has a name and it is Jesus Christ and you have been called to his hope.
Glory be by Cheri Keaggy So here's your behind the scenes tidbit. I was working on the blog and the word Hope kept bouncing around in my head and I spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out what song this was. I knew who sang it and I had the first line in my head and google was failing me along with the internet connection. Finally I put in her name and the song came up.
May your wonders never cease by Third Day. Heard this for the first time yesterday.
