Job 11:7-9, ‘Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? It is *higher* than heaven—what can you do? *Deeper* than Sheol—what can you know? Its measure is *longer* than the earth and *broader* than the sea.’ Ephesians 3:18-19, ‘[I pray] that you, being rooted and […]

Ephesians 5:20, [give] ‘thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ…’ Consider that the Holy Spirit calls us to give thanks *always* and for *everything.* Of course, this is easy (though we still often forget) when our bodies are healthy and our loved ones are safe
Ephesians 4:15-16, ‘…grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.’ That is a complicated sentence,
Ephesians 3:18-9, [That you] may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Paul does not explain the dimensions that he mentions in this
In Ephesians 6:10, Paul calls believers to be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Any strength the Christian has in the struggles of this life is strength in the Lord (that is, in union with Christ) and is, in fact, the Lord’s own might—just as any vitality or fruitfulness a
Gen 50:20, “…you *meant* evil against me, but God *meant* it for good…” Don’t miss the parallelism in this statement. It is not that Joseph’s brothers *meant* evil, and that God *used* their actions for good, it is that—in the very same action—the brothers meant evil and God meant good. There are at
Gen 32:11, “Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, that he may come and attack me…” Gen 33:4, “But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.” In 32:11, Jacob has every reason

Psalm 45:13, “All glorious is the Princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold. In many-colored robes she is led to the King…” Revelation 22:9-11, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb…the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God…” The Bridal

Psalm 2:2,5-6 “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed…Then He will speak to them in His wrath…”As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” It’s voting day in the US, and let me start by saying
Ephesians 1:10, “…to sum up all things in Him, things in heaven and on earth.” The word I’ve translated “sum up” here is used only one other place by Paul, and that’s in Romans 13:9 where he says that every commandment in the Law is “summed up” in the command to love neighbor. What
Ephesians 2:4-5, “But God…because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our sins…” On this Good Friday, as the world scrambles for answers, divides against itself, bows down to it’s own word as law, and numbs its mortal wounds with palliative distractions, may the Lord grant

Ephesians 6:16, “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.” Verse 16, like the rest of the armor passage, is built around a participle that expounds the manner in which we are to “stand” (v.14). So, “stand…taking up the shield of
Ephesians 2:14, “For He Himself is our peace…” Christ as our peace…..He is peace not only between man and man, and man and God, but also—as Colossians 1:20 tells us—between all things in heaven and on earth. In Christ, all things are reconciled, all things are set at peace. In Him all of creation is
Ephesians 3:19, “…and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” This is the culmination of Paul’s prayer to the Father in Ephesians 3:14-19, and—as I’m sure I’ve said in this journal before—it is stunning in its simplicity and depth. Would we be
Ephesians 2:4-5,” But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved.” Dead people come to life ONLY by sovereign, blood-bought, joyfully-bestowed grace.
Ephesians 2:16, “[the death of Jesus rendered the Law inoperative for those who trust in Him, that He] might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility.” Jew and Gentile are reconciled to one another and to God in Christ…which means all the ethnicities represented under “Gentile”
Ephesians 2:6-7, “[God] raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” The goodness of Who God Is, poured out over us–to our ever
Ephesians 2:4-5, “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions…”
Ephesians 2:1-3, “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience–among whom we all once lived…” This was or is true of us all.
