Praying For You

Today I begin a new set of devotions from the letter to the Colossians. I am not sure how this will work exactly but I am simply going to follow the leading of the Spirit and see how and what God has for me within this letter. All scripture is God-breathed and is good for teaching, rebuking, correctly and training in righteousness so, I am looking forward to all of that, except maybe the rebuking part. So here we go.

PRAYING FOR YOU

Col 1:9

9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
NIV

How is it possible for one believer not to pray for another? Have we not been called to pray for one another with out ceasing? And here we see a special purpose for praying, that our fellow believer will be filled with the knowledge of God’s will.
How important it is for each believer to have a complete knowledge of the Father’s will, and to have it through spiritual wisdom and understanding. That is to have the sense within, to grasp the deep spiritual truth of the Father’s will, to be connected with God in such a way. Many times we here of married people who have lived with each other in such an intimate way that one is able to finish the other’s sentence, the though, of the other. This is the sense of this spiritual wisdom, to be able to finish the though of God and to understand, to comprehend his will, it’s importance, especially for the direction of our lives.


As I was awaken this morning the Lord impressed this upon me, that I am called to never stop praying for you and I am never to stop asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

As you are preparing for this morning, just know that His will is being accomplished in your life. Seek first his kingdom, share with boldness, stand firm for his Word, declare his will to the people in your life.

I love you
