Inwardly

Our prayer verse for this week (Ephesians 3: 16-17a):

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

---

I notice that the Spirit's strengthening is in our inner being. That's where all strengthening and transformation and renewal starts. For example, in 2 Corinthians 4:16 we read "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day."

Pray today for our body of believers that we will each be renewed inwardly by the Spirit.
