Blessed

DEVOTION
EPHESIANS
BLESSED

Eph 1:3
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
NIV
Blessed, a word which encompasses being happy, content, fulfilled, satisfied, complete and in fellowship with God. This is what I am and not because of me by any means. No, I cannot claim hold to any of those feeling, or emotional states on my own account or ability. How can any person? But God the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ as decided by his own will to bless me in the heavenly realms with a few spiritual blessings. Hardly, he has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Here it is, in Christ. Christ is the every spiritual blessing I will ever need. It is Christ who has made my spirit alive. It is Christ who has conquered death! It is Christ who sits at the right hand of the Father making intercession for me. It is because of Christ I can ask anything in his name, and the Father will do it. It is because of Christ, my sins have been forgiven, and I have eternal life! How much more of a spiritual blessing do I need? None is my answer! I am blessed!
