Inner Man Strength

Read Ephesians 1-3

Ephesians 3:16 says, "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;"  We can exercise and lift weights to strengthen our bodies, but how to strengthen our inner selves isn’t as obvious.  We spend our whole lives developing on the inside while our outsides become more feeble.

The problems we go through help make us stronger.  The hurts we endure help us grow.  The worst situations in our lives bring about the most maturity.

It isn’t only through experience that we learn.  Reading, memorizing, and meditating on the Bible increases our understanding of life and the Lord.  Through prayer, the Holy Spirit can strengthen our inner man, keeping us at peace with God, no matter what we face.

Tomorrow’s reading: Ephesians 4-6
