09/25/2025 – Fully Blessed in Christ
Scripture: Ephesians 1: 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved
Reflection: In Christ, we are fully blessed. At times we may feel barely blessed. The reason that we often do not feel fully blessed is that we have trouble identifying blessings. We think blessings are those people, situations that make us feel good.
What is a blessing? It is a gift that leads to joy. We need discernment to identify not only evil, but particularly blessings. We ignore blessings and even despise them because they do not look like blessings to us.
The key to this fullness of blessing is in what God will do. How wonderful to know that your future and the future of your family is not depending on something you do but on something God will do. Your happiness is the result of God’s work of grace. God will do this not because you deserve it… He is determined to do it.
