Eph 1:17-18
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.
NIV
Ok, so I am not going to look at this as if I am supposed to be praying for someone else, but rather that Paul is praying for me. That God the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ will give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I am know him better. Yet I already have this Spirit, he is with me, he is in me and thus how can I see this as a prayer for me, since I have already received the answer of that prayer. I do have to ask myself do I have wisdom and revelation. I do have to wonder if just what does that mean. Now I suppose I must admit to myself I am a tad bid opinionated about the scriptures. I do have to admit I think I have it right. I do have to admit I think so, if not many; do not have the spirit of wisdom and revelation. Is that prideful or simple fact? I do know I want to know him better. I do know I desire more wisdom and revelation. I do know I desire to have a greater revelation of him. I do know I need more and more, that I can never be finished growing in Christ. I do know it is a lifelong journey. Yet I also cannot help but see that it is the Spirit who has the wisdom and revelation and God the Father has given me this Spirit. It is not actually I who get the wisdom and revelation, but the Spirit. In getting this Spirit he brings with him that wisdom and revelation so I may know God better. That is the whole point of it all, to know God better. There is nothing else really worth knowing.
