Event: Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders
S – Scripture
Acts 20 v. 32 And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
O – Observation
Commend to God. Linked to God. Bound to God. Family of God. It does two main things. 1) Temporary - builds you up. Knowing that you are part of God's family gives one amazing confidence to face the world. Even when bad things happen. Job said it quite well when he lost everything. Job 1 vs. 21b, "The Lord gave, the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord." 2) External - Inheritance. Heaven. A place where there will be no more tears, of hunger of pain. 1 Corinthians 2 v. 9, " What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him."
A - Application
Do I recognized that I am "Commended to God?"
P - Prayer
Jesus, Thank you for building me up and my inheritance. Love Will.
