Daily Devotional - A Time of Gratitude - WK45 - 11/6/24 - Day 290 "United Under One God"

Author: Evangelist Lisa Dalton

“United Under One God”
Scripture: Ephesians 4:6

“One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

Devotion:
In Ephesians 4, Paul reminds believers of the unity we have in God. This verse speaks powerfully about the role of God as the ultimate Father. He is not only "overall," holding authority over all creation, but He also works "through all" and dwells "in all," connecting us in a divine and profound way. We are one body, united by the same Spirit and led by the same Lord, and each of us is woven into God’s larger story.

Understanding that God is both sovereign and present can transform how we approach our day. It shifts our perspective on relationships, on conflicts, and even on our purpose. When we see God in all things, we start to see others differently. If God is in all, then we are bound together by His love. This truth calls us to respect, serve, and encourage each other, no matter our differences.

Thought for Today:
Let God’s presence remind you of the unity and love we share in Him.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being our God and Father. Help us to recognize Your presence in our lives and in the lives of others. Teach us to walk in unity and love, knowing that we are all connected through You. May we honor You in the way we live and in how we treat those around us. In Jesus' name, Amen.
