Colossians 1:9 (NKJV) 9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
As Paul was writing to the Colossian believers, he commended them for their faith, and the fruit that it was producing in their midst.
Paul ran down a list of things that he had heard about them as they grew in their walk with God. They were maturing in Christ!
This is where verse 9, above, comes in, as Paul stated that this was the reason he prayed fervently for them; that they may be filled with knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
So, if Paul thought it important to pray for these things regarding the Colossians, how much more we should realize that these are the things we also should be concerned with in our own walks with God.
Being filled with the knowledge of the will of God will strengthen our faith, push back fear and doubt, and give us the peace He desires for us to have as we walk through various trials and difficulties in our lives.
And as we gain spiritual understanding, we question God’s ways less frequently.
We are no longer blown about by the wind, tossed like ships on a stormy sea. But our faith acts as an anchor that holds us fast even in the tempests that threaten to capsize us and steal us away from our faith.
May we continually learn and grow in the knowledge of Him in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Amen.
