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 27—The Wisdom that Comes from Our Union with Christ |

In the first half of Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians Paul lays out the truth of our identification with Him. We must have the help of the Holy Spirit to know what we call Ephesians Truth. The understanding Paul was presenting in the first half of Ephesians 1 could only come by revelation. When he prayed for the spirit of wisdom, he also asked for the spirit of revelation.
I Corinthians 1:23,24,30—But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God... But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
FATHER, my own wisdom has failed. My own ability to walk upright is too weak to maintain the righteousness of Your Kingdom. Therefore, I yield the counsel of my heart and the desires of my soul to You. Please sanctify my inner man. Let me show forth the glory of the wisdom of leading a Christ-filled life. Here are these I hold before You. I believe their hearts are ready for You to move in a new way in them.
