Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Strengthened in the Inner ManEphesians 3:16
No. 360
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.Ephesians 3:16

Paul prays for inner strengthening — not circumstantial improvement, not outer blessing, but power in the inner being. The inner man is where the real battle is fought. A person with a strong inner life can face anything the outside world brings.

Reflect

How strong is your inner being right now? What practice builds the inner strength you need for what you're facing?

Prayer

Lord, strengthen me in the inner being. By Your Spirit, build in me what no external change can build. Make me strong where it counts most. Amen.
