Ephesians 2:13 ” But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.”

At one time we were all separated from God, for sin keeps us from Him. But Jesus came to reconcile us to the Father…and through His shed blood on the Cross, Jesus Christ has made a way possible for us to have that personal relationship with Him.

Ephesians 4: 26-27 ” Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.”

The longer we’re irritated with someone, the angrier and more exasperated we become. Much like a minor skin irritation gets worse the more we scratch and dig at it…a minor annoyance if allowed to fester and grow, will morph from irritation, to anger, to bitterness.

Ephesians 1:17 ” 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.”

That you may know Him better…How many of us would raise our hand to have that? Paul prayed that the Lord would impart His Divine knowledge and reveal Himself fully to his friends in Ephesus…and in turn, they would be filled with depth of insight, and abounding in the knowledge of their Savior. So I ask you today, if you want that same kind of spiritual wisdom, ask the Lord to fill you with all understanding and insight in Him…so that you also may know Him better.
