In this message on Ephesians 1:17, Eric Gentry reminds us that the deepest need in our lives is to truly know God—not just facts about Him, but personal closeness with the Father of glory. Using the metaphor of a telescope turned the wrong way, he shows how easily we shrink God in our minds and let life’s problems grow too large. Paul’s prayer is a powerful one: that God would give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we might know Him better. This kind of knowing is a gift, not an achievement—something God longs to give if we’ll only ask. Knowing God transforms our perspective, fills us with peace and courage, and shapes every part of how we live. It’s time to turn the lens, enlarge our view of God, and pray for the Spirit to do what only He can.
