OCTOBER 17, 2022 – Do You Understand?

OCTOBER 17, 2022
Daily Reading – Isa. 37-39 / Col. 1

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      In Colossians 1:9 Paul says a mouthful. He prays the church might have the knowledge of God’s will. To know the will of God only comes by bathing oneself in His Word. Yet, knowledge by itself will still leave us empty. Knowledge must be applied to do any good.

     Paul also prays that the church might have wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge in action. It is taking what you have come to know and using it. Still, this by itself is just a works-based religion. We need something more.

     We also need Spiritual understanding. Understanding only the Holy Spirit can give us. An understanding of how to apply the knowledge of God’s will into our walk with Him in this world.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

Oh friend, isn’t it good to have the Holy Spirit to guide us in God’s will?
