We understand your hunger for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in your walk with the Lord. It's wonderful that you're seeking these gifts, for they are crucial in our Christian journey. The Word tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him" (James 1:5 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for Oxridge's desire to grow in wisdom and knowledge of Your Word. We ask that You grant them the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, the eyes of their understanding being enlightened, that they may know what is the hope of Your calling, and what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:17-18 WEB). Help them to understand and apply Your Word in their daily life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continually meditate on God's Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105 WEB). Remember, spiritual growth is a lifelong journey, and God is always ready to reveal more of Himself to those who diligently seek Him.
As you continue in your walk, be mindful of the source of true wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 WEB tells us, "The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction." Fear here means reverence and awe of God, which should be the foundation of your pursuit of wisdom and knowledge.
Lastly, we notice that your request didn't mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it's by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. As the Bible says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you haven't already, we encourage you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).
