“… making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe…” (Eph 1:16-19).
Can you grasp the vast expanse of this largely unexplored frontier as Paul describes it in this petition? He is not asking that God would bless us, but that He would open our spiritual eyes to discover what we already have in Christ. Here are the Big Three: “the hope of His calling”—He sees massive potential in us; “the riches of the glory of His inheritance”—He has monumental provisions for us; and “the exceeding greatness of His power toward us”—He has mountain-moving might to accomplish it all in and through us. Now there’s something to be “making mention of” in your prayers today!
