Eph 1:18 NLT
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.
Understanding
Knowledge of God leads to understanding Him, which leads to the light Paul is on about.
As people we tend toward the negative of everything. Woe is me, “I’m stuck in a dead end job.” We can substitute many different thoughts into this idea.
The fact is that God Himself, has already rescued those who believe Him! In this understanding we know we have nothing but hope. We can with confidence charge into the day knowing that God has us, and we are secure in Him.
Inheritance
It is amazing that He, God, sees us as His rich and glorious inheritance. We are His!
