Knowledge Of His Will
Knowing God’s will is something that most all believers struggle with. There seems to be the general opinion that we can’t know much about it. Yet, when reading the bible there seems to be the assumption that His will is knowable and that we should know it.
The apostle Paul apparently believes that God’s will is very knowable. Â In Colossians 1:9, he reveals his prayer for them.
And so, from the day we heard [of your faith in Christ Jesus], we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will
His request is that they would be filled all the way to the top with complete and accurate knowledge of what God wants them to do. Â Paul obviously believes that they can and should know God’s will.
Why then are we so clueless about God’s will in our lives since it is knowable? Knowledge of His will is conditioned on us believing it can be known and diligently seeking to know it with a sincere heart.
Why is it important for us to know God’s will? Because it is the only way we can live a life that is “worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him” (Colossians 1:10).
