Resources

Don’t know if you have ever taken a cruise or not but listen up if you haven’t don’t make the same mistake as this man. There was a man who was on his way to America and on that long Atlantic voyage he only had a few coins in his pocket. When he got hungry, he would reach into a little bag he had brought with him and eat a few dry crusts of bread and get him some water. By the time the ship docked in New York he was sick of bread and pretty hungry. That is when he found out something that he wished he had understood at the beginning. There had been 3-full meals a day and those meals had been included in his fare. Read these verses and see if you are missing out.
Ephesians 3:12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. (Christ)
Ephesians 3:13  Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Ephesians 3:14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ephesians 3:15  Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Ephesians 3:16  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ephesians 3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 3:18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Ephesians 3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Did you notice all the resources that you and I have? His Wisdom for our questions, His power for our difficulties, His love for our lonely times, His peace for our troubled times. We have resources! These resources are accessed through prayer and we under live because we under pray. We focus on how big our problem is and not how big our God is. We must not wait until we reach our heavenly home to realize how we could have been living all along.
