Back

Thought

When Paul spoke for a long time one night, a young man fell asleep in the window, and then he fell out the window! The people rushed down to the street and found him dead, but Paul raised him back to life, and the next day when Paul left, the people took the man home, encouraged by the miracle they had seen. God still lets us see things that increase our faith in Him, because He’s the same God today that He was then.

Word

Ephesians 1:18–21 NIV

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Question

Have you ever fallen asleep during church or a sermon?

Eutychus was one of five people resurrected (or brought back to life after death) in the New Testament (aside from Jesus). Have you ever fallen asleep during prayer?

Challenge

Go for a walk and watch for all the ways, big or small, God encourages you to have more faith in Him.

Prayer

God, thank You for giving us chances to see the way You work in our lives so we can have bigger faith. Amen.
