Greater Knowledge, Not More Work

We need to see more of Jesus, not practice a program in all our affairs.

If we struggle with pain and frustration in our lives, the reason is that we need to see more of God's goodness and grace at work in our lives.

If we find pain and suffering in our lives, if we find lack in any area of our walk with God on this earth, then we ask God for greater revelation of His love for us, as well as a full enlightenment into all that God has bequeathed us through His Son:

"15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17That 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: 18The 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, 19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1: 15-23)

We receive a spirit of wisdom and revelation in knowing more of Jesus, less of ourselves, and how much He loves us (Ephesians 3; 16-19)

How simple it is, and yet how challenging, nonetheless.

We need to understand more of how great He is, not seek Him for tips on how to live.

He is the fullness of all things, Jesus Christ, because He made the worlds, and through Him we live and move and have our being.

We need greater knowledge of Him who has been from the beginning, not more steps, not more work, and certainly not more effort through fallen flesh, in which we can have no confidence!

He has granted us great power in our lives, in fact, the very same power which raised Jesus from the dead!

Allow God to renew your mind to these wonderful revelations!
