Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; — Ephesians 2:19

“We belong!” The apostle Paul is telling us this. We are not strangers, people with less rights, or “Johnny come lately” children of God. We belong because of God’s grace. We belong to God’s home! The apostles and prophets are the building blocks of that house. Jesus is the most important part of that house. We are also a part of this holy house of God, which is hard to believe. We belong!

Prayer

El Shaddai, God of the mountains and LORD God Almighty, the covenant God of Israel, your faithful love has given your people your promises, your grace, and your plans for the future for thousands of years. Thank you for letting me join your people by faith in Jesus and God’s grace. Thank you for including me in your family. Forgive me for the times I didn’t think I was important to your cause, and help me remember that I belong to you, your people, and your house. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
