Spirit Of Wisdom

Spirit Of Wisdom

Continuing with the theme of wisdom from last week’s Prayer Point, we look to Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesus (from Ephesians 1:17)—that they would be granted a “spirit of wisdom.” The apostle knew that there was a need for Jesus’ church in that particular time and locale to have greater wisdom in their Christian service. Likewise, Solomon—when he first became king—asked God for greater understanding and so God granted him a “wise and understanding heart” (1 Kings 3:12). Throughout the Bible—Old Testament to New Testament—this truism shows up time and again: wise people pray for wisdom; foolish people assume they have wisdom. Throughout 2022, let’s be among the former rather than the latter. We need wise leaders and churches more than ever before. Now that’s something to pray about!
