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 6—Giving up the Way of Thinking that Leads to Foolishness

 

We may be drawn into a trap that makes us foolish if we’re not careful. This may come from the influence of someone who is self-assured and comes off as having everything all put together.  Some people who act as though everything is right and wonderful are themselves living a lie. It is at this point that we need the operation of the Spirit that Paul called the discerning of spirits in I Corinthians 12:10.

I Corinthians 3:18,19a—Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God...

Isaiah 29:14b—for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

 

DEAR LORD, here are some people I want to hold before You today. They have come under the strong influence of the world and its so-called wisdom. They belong to You and to Your Kingdom. Please send Your Spirit to pierce their darkness and release in them a new and keen desire to know You and Your ways.
