Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. —Ephesians 2:19-20
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
“We belong!” That’s what the apostle Paul is telling us. We’re not outsiders, second-class citizens, or “Johnny come lately” children of God. Because of grace, we belong! We are part of God’s house! The foundation of that house is made up of the apostles and prophets. The cornerstone of that house is Jesus himself. Incredibly, we are also a part of this holy house of God. We belong!
My Prayer…
El Shaddai, God of the mountains and LORD God Almighty, the covenant God of Israel, from age to age, your steadfast love has blessed your people with your promises, grace, and future. Thank you for bringing me into your people by grace through faith in Jesus. Thank you for making me a vital part of your house. Forgive me for the times I doubted my importance to your cause and awaken in me the realization that I belong to you, your people, and your house. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
