"... that you may know what is the hope of his calling."
This verse is just a small section of Paul's prayer for the Christians at Ephesus with a very powerful message. I like this Modern English Translation from J. B. Philips, "and this is my prayer. That God, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ and the all-glorious Father, will give you spiritual wisdom and the insight to know more of him: that you may receive that inner illumination of the spirit which will make you realize how great is the hope to which he is calling you - the magnificence and splendor of the inheritance promised to Christians - and how tremendous is the power available to us who believe in God."
Our God is an awesome God. We must be open to his bidding so he can work through us thereby accomplishing his will for mankind here on earth.
Prayer: Dear God, we pray for your strength and guidance in all that we do. Amen.
