Ephesians 1:
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;  17 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:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,  19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,


DAY 16—Finding God's Hidden Wisdom

 

Paul called the wisdom from the Lord, the hidden wisdom. This means it was wisdom contained in the heart of God. It was there from eternity, before the dawn of what we know as time. It was tried, refined in His fire, revealed in His only begotten Son (John 3:16).

A marvel is that we were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). Jesus was foreordained before (known before) the foundation of the world (I Peter 1:20). He was the Word (the Logos) of God that was made manifest in the flesh for us. He was in the eternal wisdom of God.

Thus knowing Christ Jesus today connects us with The Great Source of wisdom, a source not defiled or contaminated by the anti-Christ system. The wisdom revealed to us in Him, and by Him, will go with us into God’s eternal Kingdom.

Romans 16:25,26a—Now to Him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest...

I Corinthians 2:7—But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.    

                                                                                   

HEAVENLY FATHER, how marvelous that You have ordained a wisdom from out of eternity to work in us who trust Your Son! Since our own wisdom has failed over and over, we yield to Yours. Teach us to wait before You till we know its release in us. Now, we request this for these whose names we mention before Your Throne.
