Ephesians 1:11-19

This morning's scripture was Ephesians 1:18-19

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,19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,

Something that stuck out to me was "eyes of your heart". It seems to me so often, as women, we are accused of not seeing clearly because we are lead by our hearts. I love that we need to have the "eyes of our hearts" enlightened to know hope.

Ephesians 1:1-10

I've started studying Ephesians with Good Morning Girls. The study uses the SOAP tool to really dig into scripture.

What is S.O.A.P.?
S.O.A.P. stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer. It is a way of getting more out of your time in God's word.

This morning's scripture was Ephesians 1:7-10.

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace8 that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.9 And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,

10 to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment–to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.

The word that really stuck out to me was "lavished".

Definition of LAVISH: 1.more than enough 2.expend or produced in abundance 3.using or giving in great amounts

The thought that God has lavished the riches of his grace on me is humbling!
