Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I am happy you have decided to visit. I will do my best to keep it up. Most of my posts will be bible related and I hope that they are true and encouraging.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Journey through Ephesians # 1 (1:3)

"... Who has blessed us in Christ  with every Spiritual; blessing in the heavenly places." Ephesians  1:3

I wonder if we Christians realize how truly rich we are? No, I am not talking about financially rich. Paul, in this letter tells us about the SOURCE of our wealth. We have a rich God who owns everything and knows exactly what we need. Paul also speaks to the SCOPE of our wealth. He says we have been blessed with "Every" Spiritual blessing. Yes, material riches come from God, but more than that true riches are spiritual in nature. All of what we need and have are wrapped up in the person of Christ. Lastly Paul informs us of the SPHERE of our spiritual blessings. They are "in the heavenlies" We as believers have a new spiritual address and that is with Christ in Heaven. That is where true riches are found.

So here is the question, Are we living our lives in this reality . Our position in Christ is not only where we derive our wealth, but really our identity.

Father, thank you for giving me all things in Christ! Help me to be content in you and help me to trust you with my life, the life you have given me !
