Blessing 53- Ephesians 1:3

Ephesians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Many believers tend to focus more on the material aspects of life when they pray to God, asking God to fulfill this need and that need and often forget to pray for their spiritual life. Of course we all need to pray for our physical and material needs, but the spiritual aspect is more important. Without building the spiritual aspect and concentrating only on the material needs causes the spiritual life to deteriorate and that causes an overall damage to our lives. We must pray first for God to bless us with a rich spiritual life, ability to pray more (and deeply), to read and meditate the Word more and to spend more time in worshipping God. When our spiritual life takes a back seat, the material things that we have will not give us heavenly peace or joy. Every spiritual blessing is reserved for the believer and we should utilize it for our own edification and for the edification of others. God bless you.
