Ephesians 1 Spiritual Blessings

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing
in the heavenly places,

even as he chose us in him
before the foundation of the world,
that we should be holy and blameless before him.

In love he predestined us
for adoption as sons
through Jesus Christ,

according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace,
with which he has blessed us in
the Beloved.

In him we have redemption through his blood,
the forgiveness of our trespasses,

according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us,

in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time,
to unite all things in him,
things in heaven and things on earth. (Ephesians 1:3-10 ESV)

Wow that is the abundance and grace upon grace and showering of love in spiritual blessings that are present now and in eternity in life and in heaven. These are the blessings God has given us in Jesus Christ. We are blessed with every single spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

Even just reading this list is overwhelming and humbling to me of how much God has given me that is meaningful and lasting. Yet I spend far too much of my time complaining or demanding things that mostly don't last: success, relationships, time, health.

God direct me to change my heart and seek after things that last and to rejoice in the spiritual blessings you have given me. God please guide me to pray for things that are pleasing to you and lasting. Thank you so much God for everything I receive through all you have done for me and who you are Christ! Praise and glory be to our God and Christ who is seated at your right hand God!
Amen
