Ephesians 3:14-19

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 so that Christmay dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Yesterday we talked about the importance of fathers in bringing order out of chaos.  But to be a good father, we need to emulate the perfect father; our Heavenly Father. He is the pattern. Here in Ephesians it states that every family derived its name from Him. That is to say that He has a plan and purpose for every family. Wisdom is seeking His plan so that we can be strengthened with power in the inner man. When we find the plan for our family, it will include faith and love. When we find His order, we can push back the chaos. His love surpasses our knowledge, but when we seek Him, He can help us to comprehend the breadth, length, height and depth His love. It is behind me to even explain It properly, but I pray that we, as fathers, can find the wisdom to bring his order and love to our families, that we may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
