An excerpt from “Ray Stedman Authentic Christianity” entitled, “The Inner Man” states: “For Christians there is something about us that is getting old, decaying and deteriorating; but there is also something about us that is getting more vital, increasing and becoming richer and deeper and stronger every day we live. And that is what he [Apostle Paul] calls the inner being.” The article may be viewed at: Daily Devotion: The Inner Man (Eph 3:14-21) (raystedman.org) [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Ephesians 3:16]
Application: “Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We would like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet, it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability — and that it may take a very long time. Above all, trust in the slow work of God, our loving vine-dresser. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin” [Source: https://revlisad.com/2012/12/01/strengthening-our-inner-being ]
