  • Spiritual Wisdom

    Eph 1:17 NLT

    asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.

    Paul’s Prayer

    Paul is asking God to give to the Ephesian believers spiritual wisdom and insight.

    We like Paul should be concerned with growing in spiritual wisdom and insight. The powers of this world have been very successful at making us focus on only the physical side of this life, the things we can see and touch. But the spiritual is the most important.

    Result

    Paul is praying that believers would grow in spiritual wisdom and insight, because it leads to greater knowledge of God. Not simply a head knowledge, but an experiential knowledge.

  • Wisdom and Understanding

    Eph 1:8 NLT

    He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.

    Wisdom and Understanding

    For those faithful followers of Christ, God has showered us with all wisdom and understanding.

    Don’t abdicate from this wisdom that God has showered on his people. Dig into His word for yourselves, seek to understand Him, for yourselves. He has given each of us the wisdom to do so.

    There are those who will try to take this wisdom and understanding away from us, do not allow them.
