Thank You God for raising me up.

Today’s Scripture: Ephesians 2:6, NIV- “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,”

Following the ways of this world, as stated in Ephesians 2:2, I have found myself dead in my sins and transgressions just as Paul had addressed the Ephesians.

Thank You God for Your great love for us. You great love is all that can save me from my self-gratifying tendency and ways. Though I have been dead in my sins, through the grace of Christ I have been saved. Thank You God for making me alive.

I am grateful today as I look to the Father and to Jesus in heaven and thank them for raising me up to be alive. We can live the fullness of life now because God the Father raised us up in Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:6 also states that God has seated us with Jesus in the heavenly realms. We can be in touch with heaven right now. In prayer and meditation, we are in heaven in an instant.

Are you thankful?

Today’s Prayer: Thank You Father God for raising me up with Jesus Christ. I am grateful for Your great love. Because of Your love I am saved. Through Jesus Christ I am alive. Thank You LORD for welcoming me into Your heavenly realm. Thank You for continuing to reveal to me the exceeding riches of Your grace and kindness. Thank You LORD for Your gifts of grace and faith that raise me up to do the good works You have planned for me. Amen.
