Ephesians 3:6 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Unlimited

What would you do with unlimited resources?

Would you buy a yacht, plane, or skyscraper? Help eliminate world hunger? Travel the world? Fund cancer research? Ensure that every orphan has a safe place to live? Would you mostly think about yourself, or would think about others?

It’s hard to imagine having no limits. We’re in constant need of food, water, air, and sleep. But unlimited is who God is.

Writing to the first-century church in Ephesus, the apostle Paul said this:

“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Will you pause for a moment and consider what it means to truly be unlimited? To have every resource imaginable at your fingertips? To never need food. To never get tired. To never get distracted. To never have a single need.

Nothing is too hard for God, and He wants to empower His people.

If you keep reading through the end of the chapter, Paul wants the Ephesians to be empowered with God’s Spirit—by means of His unlimited resources—so that their roots will grow deep, His Spirit will keep them strong, and they’ll be able to experience the depth and fullness of God’s love.

It’s an ongoing mystery why He chooses to use His imperfect people to accomplish His purposes. But that’s exactly what He wants and that’s exactly what He’ll do.

So, when you feel tired or overwhelmed, discouraged, or completely shattered, remember: God’s resources are unlimited. The possibilities are endless. And He specializes in making all things new.

Psalm 51:10 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Want a Clean Heart?

King David made some great decisions, but he also made some terrible ones...

During his reign, David chose to abuse his power by taking the wife of one of his military leaders, and then arranging for him to die in battle. For someone who was considered “a man after God’s own heart,” David really messed up.
 
In 2 Samuel 12:13 we see David confess his sin against the Lord and in Psalm 51, we see his prayer to be made new:
 
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬
 
David failed. But God redeems. God restores. David still had to face the consequences of his decisions, but in that journey, God met him there.
 
If you want to be made new by God but believe that your past is too messed up, you can follow the path David showed us. Confess, repent, and ask God to make you new. You can even use David’s exact words as you pray: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within ...
