Ephesians 1:17
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him
Take a second and remember back when you were a student or a time when you were trying to learn a new hobby. What drove you to learn that new skill, subject, or sport? Now take a moment to evaluate your growth in the Scriptures and your closeness to Jesus. Do you desire to know God in the same way you sought to succeed in those subjects or hobbies?
There is no intention of a guilt trip here, just an honest look at the power of the Scripture to draw us close to Jesus. This verse promises that Almighty God will give wisdom and revelation to know Him. Paul prays this for the Christians in the Ephesian church and your Hope church leaders pray this for you. Come to the Scriptures hungry and you will be fed.
