“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.” Ephesians 1:17 (NIV)
These words by the Apostle Paul are from a prayer he wrote and sent to the Christians in Ephesus. Paul's habit was to keep praying for the believers in that city. Paul's request on behalf of his Ephesian friends was that God would give them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in order that through that they would grow to know God better. They were believers who knew God but like us all, needed to continue to know God in a deeper way. This prayer is given to us in the Bible and applies to our lives as well if we have believed and come to know God. We too want to know God better. Our promise is that through the Holy Spirit we can receive wisdom and knowledge of God. We can each ask God to give us wisdom and revelation and to teach us by His Holy Spirit more and more of God's great truths for our Christian lives each day.
