Asking God, the glorious Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you
spiritual wisdom and understanding,
so that you might grow
in your knowledge of God.
I pray that your hearts will be flooded
with light so that you can understand
the wonderful future he has promised
to those he called. I want you to realize
what a rich and glorious inheritance
he has given to his people.
I pray that you will begin to understand
the incredible greatness of his power
for us who believe him.
This is the same mighty power
To be a success in life, you’re going to need real knowledge. There’s a story that was told to me about a commanding general of a line division in Korea who was inspecting the troops when three sniper bullets from a nearby hill whizzed past his head causing the general to dive into a bunker. “Locate that sniper,” the general shouted. The field sergeant replied, “We know exactly where he is, sir.” The general then asked, “Then why don’t you shoot him?” The sergeant responded, “Well, sir, that fellow has been sniping at this hill for six weeks now and hasn’t hit anybody yet. We’re afraid if we kill him, they might replace him with someone that can shoot.” Now there's some smart thinking! We have an experienced enemy in the devil. He knows our weaknesses and he knows how to hit his targets. He also knows that we have a great inheritance from God. To defeat him and be successful in life, we’re going to need knowledge and wisdom from God. Grow in that knowledge and wisdom, and you'll find your successful victory in life waiting for you.
