So That

So simple, yet so powerful and critical for our journey. Paul lays it out.

Ephesians 1:17a

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...

Paul is pleading to God on our behalf for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation [a deep and personal and intimate insight] - AMP version.

This is awesome...but what for? This has a specific purpose - SO THAT is very important.

Ephesians 1:17b

SO THAT you may know him better. -NIV

SO THAT you might grow in your knowledge of God. -NLT

We can get so wrapped up in wisdom for decisions. Revelation for direction, etc. But Paul reminds us that the critical element he is praying for and petitioning God for is our ability to Know God Better! That’s inner work.
