(Ephesians 1:18)

So That None May Boast

This scripture seems pretty clear. Yet many still absolutely screw this up and get it backwards -- being prideful in their own works.

But Ephesians chapter 2, verses 8-9 says:

"God saved you by his grace when you believed.
And you can't take credit for this;
it is a gift from God.
Salvation is not a reward
for the good things we have done,
so none of us can boast about it."

(Ephesians 2:8-9)

Prayer for Today

Lord, please, open the eyes of our hearts. So that we truly come to know You, Jesus. And so that when we stand before You, Lord, on Judgment Day, You know us.

Please enlighten us with your wisdom. Help us overcome our 'street smarts.' Help us overcome our pride. Reveal yourself to us, Jesus. In ways we cannot -- and don't want to -- deny.

Father, please, everyone reading this, every one, please, give them over to Jesus. We know that those whom You give to Jesus, He does not let go of.

Please forgive us for our sins. Forgive us, and make us Yours, Lord.

Thank You Father, for your mercy, for your Grace, and for Jesus Christ, your son -- our Lord and Savior.

It's in His holy name we pray to you now. Amen.
