There are some things in this life that we desire more than others. People often desire such things as attention, fame, wealth and the accumulation of possessions.
Those all have a common factor: we can physically see them.
I submit that Christians tend to overlook the most valuable riches–the ones that are normally not seen or felt.
How often do we focus on fleeting riches, when all along we have Christ's power within us to live boldly and victoriously for Him.
The riches of Christ's power within us
"And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power." Eph 1:19
The Riches of Redemption
We were once condemned while still living and the wrath of God abode on us. We were children of the Devil.
"Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:" Eph. 2:2
The Riches of our Inheritance
"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints." Eph. 1:18
Col. 1:27 "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:"
