For This Reason.....WHAT REASON?

Eph.1:15-18 ¹⁵ For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, ¹⁶ I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. ¹⁷ I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

No...this is not another tribute to Michael Jackson, but rather a reflection on the WORD of GOD, with the backdrop of the song "WHO IS IT?" that is about him remembering a vow that was made to stay true....and this scripture is a remembrance written to the church of Ephesus from Paul.   Remember the church of Ephesus?????  They are the church mention in Revelations 2, they are the ones who had great works, and walked in such discipline that they had actually forgotten their first love.   But Paul was probably sitting as Michael Jackson was in this picture, reflecting & writing them in the quiet darkness of a prison giving THANKS TO GOD for them, and what impact they had on his life and ministry.   He stopped thinking about his own situation long enough to offer up concentrated prayers that these lovely people would be filled with GOD's Spirit

So WHO IS IT?  Who is it that you are so encouraged by their very life, that you will stop thinking about yourself (your present issues or concerns) long enough, to send up a prayer of Thanksgiving and that they would be filled by His Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that they may ultimately KNOW HIM BETTER?  LGLP
