Daily Bible Reading – July 2021, God’s Word of FaithSample
July 12
Introduction
Paul says that he was called specifically for the purpose of ministering to the Gentiles —people who are not Jewish. He says that the Holy Spirit reveals that all people can share in the promise that God first gave to the ancient Israelites because Christ’s love extends beyond human boundaries.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Ephesians 3:1-21
Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 3:21
"To God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever! Amen."
Reflect
Paul suggests that God waited to reveal the inclusion of the Gentiles because he reveals new things in his time. Are there still things that God has yet to reveal? Reread verse 20. In what ways do those words challenge your thinking about the power of God working in you?
Pray
God of great love, forgive me for the times when I fail to love as you love. Open my heart to the vast depth of your love for all people, that I may learn to love like you. Amen.
