Covered in His love on the Journey

DAILY BYTE

When the Apostle Paul speaks about the grace of God in Ephesians 3 he uses the word 'polupoikilos' - which actually means 'many coloured.'

In the context of what he wrote in verse 18-19, he uses an amazing image to speak about God's love. God's grace and love is 'many coloured' in that there is not one situation in our lives, where his love won't be able to match it.

Journey’s almost always entail hardship and tough times. So it is vital for us to remember that God has promised to always journey with us, and that no matter what his love will cover us. If we go through sorrow, his love is able to cover us; if we go through times of joy, then his love is able to match that. Light or dark, sunshine or rain, wind or hail, summer or winter - God's love is adequate!

As you embrace this new day as a gift from God, may you be able to grasp how WIDE, LONG, HIGH and DEEP his love for us actually is. May we all be blessed through God's 'many-coloured' grace.

PRAY AS YOU GO

Gracious God, help to embrace this particular day on my journey as a gift from you. Help to grasp just how wide, long, hid and deep your love is. May I journey in the name and spirit of your ‘man-coloured’ grace. Amen.
