Ephesians 1:8


Copyright Ó 2011 J. Neely
Ephesians 1:8

8 Wherein [hos] he hath abounded [perisseuo] toward [eis] us [hemas] in [en] all [pas] wisdom [sophia] and [kai] prudence; [phronesis] KJV-Interlinear

8 which He lavished upon us. In all wisdom and insight  NASB

God has given blessing and grace to us without limitations.  His grace abounds.  Abounds, means given in quantities that exceed all that we could possibly need or use within an infinite number of lifetimes.  That is a lot.

Gods grace and blessings are not limited in any manner.  They are not confined or restricted.  His grace and blessings are not dependent nor based on human attributes.

In all wisdom and prudence, means that Gods grace and blessing is not random nor haphazard, but are all well thought out, designed, well designed.

God committed a great deal of thought to artfully craft and design and arrange all blessing and grace which he has made available freely to us all.

His divine plan came into existence a very long time ago, and was carefully and skillfully assembled.  There is a wise design running throughout Gods entire plan.  His plan began in eternity past and continues on forever into eternity future.

Gods plan for all of creation, and Gods plan for your individual life are all far beyond human comprehension.

The world cannot match this plan.  Satan certainly cannot match it.  Humanity cannot match Gods plan.  Humanity cannot even make all inclusive plans for days or weeks or months let alone ones entire life, let alone any part of history.

And yet God took absolutely nothing, and created the divine plan, complete with life and a destiny for everyone. 

It is unfortunate that most fail to see this principle and pursue things that are far, far less than God has made freely available to us all.
