His Will

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His great love toward us. In our walk with God, it is important to know what He will have us do. Paul prayed a beautiful prayer for the Colossians along these lines:

“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;” Colossians 1v9 (King James Version)

“So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding” Colossians 1v9 (New Living Translation)

“For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things—” Colossians 1v9 (Classic Amplified Bible)

“So ever since we first heard about you we have kept on praying and asking God to help you understand what He wants you to do; asking Him to make you wise about spiritual things;” Colossians 1v9 (The Living Bible)

“Be assured that from the first day we heard of you, we haven’t stopped praying for you, asking God to give you wise minds and spirits attuned to His will, and so acquire a thorough understanding of the ways in which God works.” Colossians 1v9 (The Message)

Sometimes, we are torn between decisions of what is right, what is good, what to do. At the end of the day, what truly matters is not what we think or feel, or what others say, but what God determines is good and right. This scripture is a prayer that we will have complete knowledge of God’s will and that He will give us understanding, wisdom and discernment of spiritual things, even by His Spirit. That is beautiful indeed.

Prayer

Why don’t you take sometime to pray for yourself, that you will be filled with the complete knowledge of His will, that you will know what He wants you to do, that you will have comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God, and that you will have understanding and discernment of spiritual things.
