Spiritual amnesia

It is so easy to forget as Christians.

We forget how much God has blessed us.

We forget how he chose us before the foundation of the world.

We forget the riches of his grace that he has lavished on us.

We forget the hope to which God called us.

We forget the riches of the glorious inheritance we have received.

We forget the immeasurable greatness of his power in our lives.

We forget the greatness of our King who is “far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.”

And so in Ephesians 1, Paul prays that God would heal our spiritual amnesia. That we would truly see all these things.

When you read the words of Ephesians 1, do they ring in your soul? Or do they leave you cold?

I pray that these words of Paul for you today.

But please pray them for me as well.

Because I get spiritual amnesia too.
