TODAY’S WORD…

.

I ask the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,

to give you the Spirit,

who will make you wise and reveal God to you,

so that you will know Him.

.

– Ephesians 1:17 (GNT)

REFLECTION…

.

This verse leads us into prayer,

to appeal to God to grant us Christians supernatural wisdom

that we may recognize the greatness of the blessings He has given us through His Son

– that is, that we may acknowledge that He is truly our Father and the origin of all glory.

.

This verse leads us into prayer,

to seek the special gifts of wisdom and personal revelation.

.

Wisdom is that great gift of the Holy Spirit

which enables us to penetrate the mystery of God.

.

Personal revelation is that special light from the Holy Spirit

which provides us with a deeper appreciation of the truth of faith,

and of the will of God in particular situations.

PRAYER…

.

Almighty God, Heavenly Father,

in Jesus’ Holy Name I humbly ask You to give me the Spirit,

who will make me wise and reveal You to me,

so that I will know You.
