Reflection
The gift of knowledge is more than an accumulation of facts. Within our own limits, knowledge allows us to see the circumstances of our lives as God sees them. Through this gift, we can discern God’s purpose in our lives. We intuit the meaning of God’s revelation, especially as expressed in the life and words of Jesus Christ. Knowledge enables us to understand creation as a sign which leads to God. It enables us to minister more effectively to the needs of people, to know and understand situations, and circumstances and to know how to speak with a knowledge that can surprise, disarm, open-up, and help to bring answers, healing and understanding.
Prayer
