By the end of this journey, readers will feel encouraged and empowered to draw on God’s power and riches, standing strong in their faith through every spiritual battle they face.
Genre: RELIGION / DevotionalMake yourself a cup of coffee. Drink it—slowly. While you do, sit down and read this book. I invite you to read just one day of this devotional at a time. Each entry is designed to take no more than ten minutes. Of course, if you actually stop and reflect, you may need a little more time—and that’s a good thing.
This devotional aims to offer you something even more important than caffeine: fuel for your fight. To know Christ and follow Him is a spiritual battle—against sin, self, and Satan. Coffee is good, but soul fuel—fuel for the fight—is better. My hope is that these daily readings will ignite a fire in your heart for God, or at the very least, empower you to keep moving forward—fighting the good fight of faith in Christ.
This journey will take you through the New Testament book of Ephesians—a letter written by the Apostle Paul to believers in the ancient city of Ephesus. Ephesus was a powerful, wealthy, and spiritually dark place—home to the massive temple of Artemis, famous for magic, false gods, and idolatry. Yet, right there in that hostile world, the Lord powerfully rescued many. Ephesians reminds us that even in dark days, we are not powerless. We are blessed, chosen, adopted, redeemed, empowered, and armored for battle.
Each day in this devotional contains:
A passage from Ephesians
One key word to remember
A section on the theological intention (what the text means in context)
Some details on the Greek New Testament
A section on application (how to live it out)
And often, a closing prayer, poem, or both
This is not a verse-by-verse commentary. It moves section by section, with three goals in mind: that you would learn the truth, love the truth, and live the truth—for the sake of Christ.
