I love the connection between these verses today. This season is still reflecting on the "after effects" of Pentecost. I love the emphasis on the Holy Spirit and how He interacts with our day to day lives.
Ephesians 3:14-21 NCV
In Christ,
The verses correlate with Holy Trinity's sermons.
Psalm 111:1-10
"Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with
all my heart in the meeting of his good people. The Lord does great things;
those who enjoy them seek them. What he does is glorious and splendid, and his
goodness continues forever. His miracles are unforgettable. The Lord is kind and
merciful. He gives food to those who fear him. He remembers his agreement
forever. He has shown his people his power when he gave them the lands of other
nations. Everything he does is good and fair; all his orders can be trusted.
They will continue forever. They were made true and right. He sets his people
free. He made his agreement everlasting. He is holy and wonderful. Wisdom begins
with respect for the Lord; those who obey his orders have good understanding. He
should be praised forever."
1 Corinthians 2:7-12 NCV
"I speak God’s secret wisdom, which he has
kept hidden. Before the world began, God planned this wisdom for our glory. None
of the rulers of this world understood it. If they had, they would not have
crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written in the Scriptures: “No one has
ever seen this, and no one has ever heard about it. No one has ever imagined
what God has prepared for those who love him.” But God has shown us these things
through the Spirit. The Spirit searches out all things, even the deep secrets of
God. Who knows the thoughts that another person has? Only a person’s spirit that
lives within him knows his thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows the
thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we did not receive the spirit of
the world, but we received the Spirit that is from God so that we can know all
that God has given us.
Ephesians 3:14-21 NCV
"So I bow in prayer before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth gets its true name. I ask the Father in his great glory to give you the power to be strong inwardly through his Spirit. I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love—how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God. With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. To him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever. Amen."
John 14:15-23 NCV
"“If you love me, you will obey my commands. I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he lives with you and he will be in you. “I will not leave you all alone like orphans; I will come back to you. In a little while the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live, too. On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me and I am in you. Those who know my commands and obey them are the ones who love me, and my Father will love those who love me. I will love them and will show myself to them.” Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you plan to show yourself to us and not to the rest of the world?” Jesus answered, “If people love me, they will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them."In Christ,
