The Father's Business was founded by Sylvia Gunter to encourage people to a deeper relationship with God. Thank you for listening to this devotional. Ephesians 1, 3-6 says Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ, for he chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love, he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will, to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the one he loves. May you be ever aware of the incredible riches bestowed upon you by our Heavenly Father, who has blessed you in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing through Jesus Christ. Before the foundation of the world, he chose you, setting you apart, to be holy and blameless in his sight. In his profound love, god predestined you to be adopted as his beloved child through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will. May your life be a living testament to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given you in the one he loves.

God is calling you into sweeter fellowship with himself. May you be drawn to know him more intimately, to love him more fervently and to worship him with undivided devotion. As the truth of his word comes alive in you, may he open the scriptures to you daily, providing you with fresh manna to nourish your spirit. He wants you to know him better, to love him more and to worship him wholeheartedly. The truth of his word is alive to you. He opens his word to you and feeds you fresh manna every day. Be blessed as he leads you to set your will to follow him fully, to stand firm in him and to be single-minded in seeking Him. Be blessed as he establishes you to live in His Spirit in more profound ways. Be blessed as he calls you beyond obedience and duty into the delight of friendship with Him. Be blessed as you seek to honor Him in all you are and all you do, living a life that reflects his glory and grace.
