THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM: Daily Devotional

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.- Ephesians 1:17–19

INSPIRATION

If God tells us that wisdom is of utmost importance, it is our duty to know and act on the "spirit of wisdom." But do you know what a "spirit of wisdom" is?

See the prayer (above) that the Apostle Paul prayed for the church at Ephesus. The spirit of wisdom and revelation resides in the knowledge of Jesus! The more you know Jesus and the more His undeserved grace becomes apparent in your life, the more you will have the spirit of wisdom. . We encourage you to pray this prayer regularly for wisdom. Because as you grow in your knowledge of Jesus, He will ensure your success in every aspect of your life.

Notice that when Paul prayed this prayer for the believers in Ephesus, they were already filled with the Holy Spirit. But Paul continued to pray that God would give them the spirit of wisdom and revelation to give them knowledge of Jesus. It is one thing to have the Holy Spirit indwelling you, and it is another to have the Holy Spirit flowing into you as a spirit of wisdom and revelation.

And as you pray today to be led by the Spirit of Wisdom, be assured that the Holy Spirit will guide you in the divine and matchless wisdom of Jesus. When the Holy Spirit leads you to the wisdom of Jesus, there are no impossible situations, no insoluble problems, no insurmountable crises. The wisdom of Jesus within you will help you overcome all challenges and push you to overcome all challenges!
