Good morning. As Paul
prayed for the Ephesians, I pray for you: that God would grant you, according
to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in
the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith; and that
you being rooted and grounded in love may be able to comprehend with all the
saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the
love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the
fullness of God. That was some prayer by Paul. Having all of that is great (you
would be ready for anything that came against you), but the greatest is to know
the love of Christ. Sometimes you may feel like you're running on empty; but
Paul wants us to be filled up to all the fullness of God. We are to have a
tiger in our tank. Do you have something big that you want God to do for you?
Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or
think, according to the power that works within us. He can do even more than
you can imagine. And it is through the power that is working within you. This
is the power that created the universe. Father thank You that Your Power is
working in the reader - that You will do exceeding abundantly beyond all that he/she
would ask or think according to the power that works within him/her.

Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
