Ephesians 1:15-23 (NKJV)
15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power
20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Oración Por La Sabiduría Espiritual
Efesios 1:15-23 (NVI)
15 Por eso yo, por mi parte, desde que me enteré de la fe que tenéis en el Señor Jesús y del amor que demostráis por todos los santos,
16 no he dejado de dar gracias por vosotros al recordaros en mis oraciones.
17 Pido que el Dios de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, el Padre glorioso, os dé el Espíritu de sabiduría y de revelación, para que lo conozcáis mejor.
18 Pido también que os sean iluminados los ojos del corazón para que sepáis a qué esperanza él os ha llamado, cuál es la riqueza de su gloriosa herencia entre los santos,
19 y cuán incomparable es la grandeza de su poder a favor de los que creemos. Ese poder es la fuerza grandiosa y eficaz
20 que Dios ejerció en Cristo cuando lo resucitó de entre los muertos y lo sentó a su derecha en las regiones celestiales,
21 muy por encima de todo gobierno y autoridad, poder y dominio, y de cualquier otro nombre que se invoque, no solo en este mundo, sino también en el venidero.
22 Dios sometió todas las cosas al dominio de Cristo, y lo dio como cabeza de todo a la iglesia.
23 Esta, que es su cuerpo, es la plenitud de aquel que lo llena todo por completo.
The Virtuous Wife
Proverbs 31:10-13; 25-31 (NKJV)
10 Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

La Esposa Virtuosa
Proverbios 31:10-13; 25-31 (NVI)
10 Mujer ejemplar, ¿dónde se hallará?
¡Es más valiosa que las piedras preciosas!
11 Su esposo confía plenamente en ella
y no necesita de ganancias mal adquiridas.
12 Ella le es fuente de bien, no de mal,
todos los días de su vida.
13 Anda en busca de lana y de lino,
y gustosa trabaja con sus manos.
25 Se reviste de fuerza y dignidad,
y afronta segura el porvenir.
26 Cuando habla, lo hace con sabiduría;
cuando instruye, lo hace con amor.
27 Está atenta a la marcha de su hogar,
y el pan que come no es fruto del ocio.
28 Sus hijos se levantan y la felicitan;
también su esposo la alaba:
29 «Muchas mujeres han realizado proezas,
pero tú las superas a todas».
30 Engañoso es el encanto y pasajera la belleza;
la mujer que teme al Señor es digna de alabanza.
31 ¡Sean reconocidos sus logros,
y públicamente alabadas sus obras!
An Earnest Appeal for Guidance and Deliverance
Psalms 143:7-12
7 Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
In You I take shelter.
10 Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!
For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 In Your mercy cut off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant.

Un Llamamiento Serio a La Orientación y La Entrega
Salmo 143:7-12 (NVI)
7 Respóndeme pronto, Señor,
que el aliento se me escapa.
No escondas de mí tu rostro,
o seré como los que bajan a la fosa.
8 Por la mañana hazme saber de tu gran amor,
porque en ti he puesto mi confianza.
Señálame el camino que debo seguir,
porque a ti elevo mi alma.
9 Señor, líbrame de mis enemigos,
porque en ti busco refugio.
10 Enséñame a hacer tu voluntad,
porque tú eres mi Dios.
Que tu buen Espíritu me guíe
por un terreno sin obstáculos.
11 Por tu nombre, Señor, dame vida;
por tu justicia, sácame de este aprieto.
12 Por tu gran amor, destruye a mis enemigos;
acaba con todos mis adversarios.
¡Yo soy tu siervo!
John’s Witness: The True Light
John 1:6-13 (NKJV)
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
