Devotion – Ephesians 3

S – I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love, 19 and to know Christ’s love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God

Ephesians 3:17–19 CSB

O –  Paul is sharing how the Gentiles are included in God’s plan.  This is based on the foundational principle of God’s love.  If all men could understand this, they would love God back and walk in this part of his character.

A – What would our lives look like if we really could comprehend the magnanimity of God’s love for us?  We would be empowered in the completeness of God.  Sin, questions, fears, expectations – all the things that keep us from God would be answered because the love of God supersedes them.

A – Lord, we come to you because you loved us first.  Your expression of love is too great for us to understand but would reveal another layer of it to us today.  Help us to walk in the fullness of your love.  Empower us to go beyond our comprehension into a new level of depth and richness today.
