In the Knowledge of Him

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. Ephesians 1:17 Lord this is my prayer, my one desire for the spirit of wisdom and revelation - not about this world or any area of academic interest, but in the knowledge of Him - to know God! Can there be a better ambition in the heart of man, but to know God? Lord, is it not the end towards which I was created - to know God and enjoy Him forever. As the knowledge of God percolates my spirit overflowing into my soul and directing my body, I am being changed into that very image from one degree of glory to another. Lord, I don’t just need the spirit of revelation, but also wisdom to apply that revelation to very facet of life - for this will keep me from being shortsighted in things pertaining to God. I need wisdom to live in this world and yet not be of the world, but to seek after the city whose builder and maker is God. Here I am Lord, with an open heart I come under an open heaven waiting to be quickened by your Spirit -that Christ be treasured in my heart always and nothing of this world keep me from enjoying this priceless inheritance. This Jesus, whom I have received - May I follow on to know Him, let this be my lifelong pursuit and Lord, I know that this won’t stop when my earthly journey has been completed, but throughout all eternity there won’t be a single moment that will not bring a fresh, joyous and exciting revelation of my Father in Heaven forever and forever Amen!
