Today's Promise

Today's Promise

Dr. Bill Bright

Inner Strengthening 

"That out of His glorious, unlimited resources He will give you the mighty inner strengthening of His Holy Spirit" (Ephesians 3:16).

In Christ are all the attributes and characteristics promised to His children as the fruit of the Spirit. And the Holy Spirit was given to glorify Christ.

  • Do you need love?

The Lord Jesus Christ is the incarnation of love. Paul prays that our roots may "go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God's children should, how long, how wide, how deep and how high His love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves (though it is so great that you will never see the end of it, or fully know or understand it") (Ephesians 3:17-19).

  • Do you need peace?

Christ is the "Prince of Peace." "I am leaving you with a gift," said Jesus, "peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives" (John 14:27).

  • Do you need joy?

Christ is joy.

  • Do you need patience?

Christ is patience.

  • Do you need wisdom?

Christ is wisdom.

  • Are you in need of material possessions so that you can better serve Christ?

They are available in Him, for God owns "the cattle on a thousand hills," and He promised to supply all our needs (Philippians 4:19).

All that we need is to be found in Christ and nowhere else. The supernatural life is Christ, for in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.


Bible Reading: Ephesians 3:17-21


TODAY'S ACTION POINT:  Knowing that God's unlimited resources make possible the mighty inner strengthening in my life, I shall focus my attention upon Him through reading His inspired Word and obeying His commands.
