THE HOPE WHICH HE HAS PLANNED FOR US

 

Ephesians 1:18

"I pray 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 his holy people." NIV

"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints." KJV

How do the eyes of our hearts get enlightened? God tells us in His Word that if we ask believing, He will give us that which we ask for. If we sincerely pray for eyes of understanding, God will not only remove the veil that keeps us from seeing His mighty deeds, but He will show us the magnificence of the eternal future He has made for those of us who love Him and live according to His Word.

Heavenly Father, we praise You and magnify Your name for the wonderful gift of grace You have given so that we will live and reign with You in your glorious presence and the richness of You eternal love. Give us eyes of understanding so that we will stay on the path of righteousness and know this wonderful future You have for us. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

ENLIGHTENED HEARTS

Do we really understand that our hearts are still not grasping the magnitude of God's glory? Our prayer should daily be that our hearts are opened to receive the knowledge and understanding of Him and what He has prepared for us. What God has waiting for us is totally sharing in His power and glory! It surpasses what Adam and Eve knew in the garden. Perhaps it would help if we think about and

understand what was lost when sin entered the world.

Heavenly Father, we pray for open hearts to know you more and to understand more fully what you have made ready for us. In Jesus' name.

Read Ephesians 1:18

"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." (NIV)

"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints." (KJV)
