Stringing Pearls
Moment In The Word
"Filled With the Knowledge of God"
TODAY’S VERSE
"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. And we pray this in order
that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every
way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that
you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks
to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the
saints in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:9-11
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Being filled with the knowledge of God is crucial to our Christian
experience. But how does this happen? How are we filled with the
knowledge of God? F.B. Meyers writes, “God’s impressions within and His
word without are always corroborated by His Providence around, and we
should quietly wait until those three focus into one point.” We gain
knowledge as we quiet ourselves to listen to God, read His word for
understanding and follow His leadings as they are played out. Dallas
Willard in his book Hearing God shares, “So our union with God – His
presence with us, in which our aloneness is banished and the meaning
and full purpose of human existence is realized – consists chiefly in a
conversational relationship with God while we are each consistently and
deeply engaged as His friend and colaborer in the affairs of the kingdom
of Heaven.” This is what Paul is talking about. As we listen to Him, muse
on His word and practice His presence as we go about living for Him, He
will give us wisdom and knowledge, the fruit of good works and all the
strength and power we need. Start today. Talk to God, read His word and
converse with Him as you go about your business. Does it get any better
than that?
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Father, is it true? Can I really be filled with your knowledge and
wisdom? Can my life bear good works? Can I really have your strength
and power in my life? This is what I desire. Please help me Lord with the
discipline I need to quietly spend time listening to you and reading your
word. Help me even today to converse with you throughout the day. Help
me experience your presence. I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ my
Savior. Amen.
