Daily Wisdom

“Cease not mention of you in my prayers. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.” Eph 1:16-17

Paul revels for us, by way of prayer, his desire for our eternal glory.  That by the exceeding greatness of God’s power to those who believe in Christ and His eternal resurrection may receive our promised glory through Christ.  Paul illustrates three areas in which he bequest God’s favor upon us.

1.) Eyes of Enlightenment (vs 18)… By the Spirit of God we may see the exceeding sinfulness of sin; the insufficiency of our own righteousness; the excellency of truth and the usefulness of the gospel for knowing Christ as our savior. 

2.) Hope of His Calling (vs 18)… Not merely a call to the external ministry of the word, but an internal heavenly calling upon all His children; unto the eternal glory in Christ that encourages us knowing that who God calls He justifies and glorifies.

3.) Glory and Riches of His Inheritance (vs 18)… Our heavenly inheritance and it’s of the Lord’s, it’s of His preparing and gifted unto us. And not merely signified by mansions, in-habitations or a simply a city, but the Kingdom of God and the riches of his grace are the foundation of it.  The full richness of His Kingdom is unknown in this life, an inheritance unmatched and unimaginable by man.
