Ephesians 4:30 (NRSV)
Read Ephesians 4:30 on biblegateway.com
Verse 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.
Devotion
Sealed, like a package. There must be a gift inside. How did that gift get in there? It must have happened when I wasn’t looking, when I stopped trying so hard. The Holy Spirit works in spite of me. When I start to take credit for this gift, how that must grieve God. I am redeemed in spite of myself.
Prayer
Lord, show me what daily redemption can look like in my life. Show me that gift in this package that cannot be taken away. Amen.
