Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 3:14-21 (day six)
This is Paul’s second prayer in this letter. Paul pauses to pray, “For this reason.” (3:14) Paul uses that phrase twice in the preceding verses. So, what’s the reason? He has two that I see. First, he prays because of his unique calling to bring the good news to Gentiles; he feels responsible for them. Second, he prays because of the mystery that has been revealed in Jesus, that God is recreating a multi-ethnic family of Jews and Gentiles. The bigness of God’s plan inspires Paul to pray.
What inspires you to pray? God wants us to pray in the small things, but he also desires us to pray because of the big things
Your Kingdom Come.
