Ephesians 1 - TNIV Audio
http://www.biblegateway.com/audio/multi/tniv/Eph.1.17
Scripture: 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. TNIV
Observation: "Paul wanted the Ephesian believers to understand what great spiritual resources were theirs in Christ. Revelation refers to the insight and the discernment the Spirit brings to the mysteries of divine truth. Paul wanted his readers to have a spirit of wisdom so that they might get to know God more completely. God has given believers wisdom (vv. 8-9), but Paul prayed for the church not only to understand but to experience these blessings."
*Quotation from HCSB Study Bible Notes
Application: "Paul is asking that we might know God better. That we might look beyond appearances, to see the Church as God does - a people transformed to display His glory, unspeakably precious to Him." We are to glorify the Lord in our daily lives.
*Quotation from Devotional Commentary by Lawrence O. Richards
Prayer: Father, help me to do everything for your glory, from the simple and mundane to the sophisticated and exciting. I am being transformed to display your glory. So whatever I do, may it bring you glory. In Jesus name, amen.
Quotation: "The church of Christ is not an institution; it is a new life with Christ and in Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit." ~ Sergius Bulgakov
