As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, I was drawn back to our study In the Book of Ephesians. The following verses are taken from Ephesians 1:15-23 (ESV)
For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Cheryl and I are so grateful for all our dear church family and friends who have been walking with us through this past season. God is certainly calling out a remnant for Himself to the deeper things of the Spirit as we prepare for the greatest harvest the world has ever witnessed. We are so thankful for all of you and wish you all the most wonderful “Thanksgiving” possible. Our prayer indeed is that “the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, and that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe.” There is so much to be thankful for. Most of all, God is working in us all to reveal Himself through us.
Happy Thanksgiving!! Safe travels to all who are traveling!!
