daily reading 30.3 (Ephesians 1:9–12)
5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024
Our opening prayer for this week:
In Christ is all I need,
The Shepherd of my soul,
Whose word of life is life indeed,
Who makes the wounded whole.
In him secure I stand,
His promises I claim,
For none can pluck me from his hand
Who knows his sheep by name.
In Christ is all my gain,
For he has borne my loss;
My grievous guilt, my sin and stain,
I lay beneath his cross.
In him new life begins,
I share his Name and sign;
For I am his, who bore my sins,
And he himself is mine.
In Christ is all my peace,
His presence calms my fears;
So may my hope and love increase
Amid the passing years.
In him the light has shone
That lightens all my way,
To guide my steps before his throne
To everlasting day. Amen.
Ephesians 1:9–12
- God made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he purposed in Christ 10 as a plan for the right time— to bring everything together in Christ, both things in heaven and things on earth in him.
- 11 In him we have also received an inheritance, because we were predestined according to the plan of the one who works out everything in agreement with the purpose of his will, 12 so that we who had already put our hope in Christ might bring praise to his glory.
