Wisdom or Intelligence? If you could only pray for one which would you choose?

Post by MaxPC »

The Bible speaks of gifts from God. If you could only pray for one, which would you choose?

Paul prayed this for the Colossians - "For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you, have not ceased praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding"

And for the Ephesians - "I do not cease to give thanks for you when I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, will give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him"

Spiritual wisdom is about obtaining (fill you, give you) a growing knowledge of God and this is not dependent on having a high I.Q.
