Ephesians 1:7-10

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace  that he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight.  He did this when he revealed to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,  toward the administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ—the things in heaven and the things on earth.

Lord Jesus, help us live lives that reflect the redemption and forgiveness that we are offered through Your blood. Lead us in experiencing the "riches of God's grace" (NIV) as we work out our salvation according to the leading of the Holy Spirit and Your perfect will for our lives. We trust in You Lord, and hold fast to the promise that you will "bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ." Reveal to us the path for our steps that we may glorify Your name!
