Ephesians 1:17
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I have heard a take on today’s verse that is not correct. As a matter of fact, I have tried to use this verse in that same exact way. I have dropped off the last phrase, “so that you may know him better.” The point behind the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, in this verse, is not to let you know the future. It isn’t even let you know the right path to take. No, it is so that you may know God better.
You see we are to seek God above all else. When you get to know God better, you learn to lean on Him and all the rest falls in place. Your hope is in Him and you know He will take care of you. This wisdom gives you peace because no matter what you face you KNOW God has it all in control.
I am trying to ‘practice what I preach’. We have sold our house and are now looking for a new one. I don’t want to rush ahead of God. I am trying so hard to rely on His perfect timing, but it isn’t easy. I am taking this time to learn to put my total trust in God. Some days it is good others it is a struggle. No matter what, I am praying for the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation to help me keep my eyes where they belong, on God!
Lord, life isn’t always easy. I face trials and often get impatient. Send me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to help me keep my eyes on you. ~ amen
