Rich Beyond Measure
Ephesians 1:18 I pray that God will open your minds to see his truth. Then you will know the hope that he has chosen us to have. You will know that the blessings God has promised his holy people are rich and glorious.
We live in a world obsessed with more – more money, more stuff, more followers. And yet, for all our abundance, we’re haunted by scarcity: What if I lose it? What if I don’t have enough? So, question: What if true wealth has nothing to do with what you earn – but with what you’ve already been given?
Imagine someone wins the lottery – tens of millions – but forgets to check their ticket. For years, they live paycheque to paycheque, worrying about bills, feeling poor, while unimaginable wealth sits unclaimed in the top drawer of their bedside table.
That’s us, says the Apostle Paul. Most of us live completely unaware of the riches that are already ours in Christ – peace that holds in chaos, forgiveness that frees, hope that outlasts pain, power to be holy.
We chase the world’s prizes while the true treasure lies waiting to be discovered in the relationship we already have with God. Here’s Paul again:
Ephesians 1:18 I pray that God will open your minds to see his truth. Then you will know the hope that he has chosen us to have. You will know that the blessings God has promised his holy people are rich and glorious.
Those blessings aren’t bank accounts or titles. They’re grace, forgiveness, belonging, purpose – treasures that never fade. Perhaps you feel overlooked, undervalued, uncertain about tomorrow. Yet in Christ, you already possess all the wealth of heaven – love that cannot be lost, hope that cannot be shaken, a life that never runs out. So here’s my prayer for you:
That you would know what are the riches of your glorious inheritance amongst the saints.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
