Welcome

One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G

Ephesians 3:4

4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

Paul an Apostle, a chosen vessel through whom God instructed His people toward a right relationship with Himself. Being endowed with the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, had the capacity to have insight into the mysteries of the Scriptures. That same Spirit who empowered Paul and raised Jesus from the dead also indwells us. How well are we stewarding that awesome power? Do we seek Him for insight and understanding on behalf of others in the body of Christ or are we stuck in the zone of praying for comfort and safety and the occasional parking spot? Come on people, talk about wireless technology, we have a direct line to the throne room of God and we find it hard to make the call. What's up with that? I submit that it is the spirit of the age, apathy, lethargy and distraction, that keeps us believers ineffective, and on the sidelines. The parable of the talents is the definitive depiction of how we are to be shrewd, industrious and effective with the gifts God has given us, and the rewards that await us when we are impactful with them. Chief among the various gifts is the Holy Spirit. So in the spiritual realm if you are the janitor in a Fortune 500 company and you are the only believer on site you are God's man on the scene with the authority of heaven and the guidance of His Spirit to do His will. Walk in that calling, seek Him for the wisdom that is from on high, remember His modus operendi is to use the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. So make it happen.

APPLICATION
I will seek to be bold today and be sensitive to His Spirit and accomplish great things.
