That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Ephesians 1:17 KJV
Would you like to receive some guidance from the Holy Spirit to help you make important decisions in your life today? If yes, Paul’s prayer to the Ephesian church in the verse above is an important scripture for you to apply to your own life.
Having Wisdom & Revelation are two very important virtues that can help you make the right choices and decisions. The word “wisdom” in this verse is from the Greek word "sophias"; this is not natural human wisdom - this is special insight from God. The word “revelation” is from the word "apokalupsis". It refers to something that has been veiled or hidden for a long time and then suddenly, becomes clear and visible to the mind or eye.
Can you remember times in your past when you suddenly saw something in the Bible you had never seen before? That truth had been there all along, but it had been hidden to your eyes. Then suddenly one day, it was as if someone pulled the covers off that verse, and it literally jumped off the pages in front of you. You saw it! You understood it! You had a revelation! It is a fact that truths remain hidden until God chooses to reveal them to us.
If you need direction and guidance today, stop right now and pray Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:17 for your own life. Ask God to give you “a spirit of wisdom and revelation.” God has all the answers you need, and they’re not as far from you as you may think. In one moment, He can remove the veil of ignorance and help you see clearly the things you need to understand. All you have to do is ASK!

Declare This: Lord, I ask You to give me the insight and wisdom I need for this moment in my life. I ask You to give me a revelation about my life and the truth I need to know now and always in Jesus name Amen.
