Col 1:9-10, 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; (10) THAT YOU MAY WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD, FULLY PLEASING HIM, BEING FRUITFUL IN EVERY GOOD WORK AND INCREASING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD;
For Paul, prayer wasn’t an occasional thing, but he was continuously lifting believers before the Father, asking that they be filled with the knowledge of God’s will. THIS WAS NOT MERE HEAD KNOWLEDGE, BUT A DEEP, SPIRIT‑SHAPED UNDERSTANDING THAT TRANSFORMS THE HEART AND GUIDES THE WALK.
Being fruitful in every good work ISN’T AN OCCASIONAL ACT OF SERVICE, but a consistent and steadfast way of life; knowing that we are just mere servants of the Most High.
Col 1:12-14, GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER WHO HAS QUALIFIED US TO BE PARTAKERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS IN THE LIGHT. (13) HE HAS DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS AND CONVEYED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE SON OF HIS LOVE, (14 ) IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
We have every reason to be thankful for the grace and mercy GOD has shown us. We didn’t deserve salvation, but through the suffering of our LORD, our sins were washed clean, and we were given a place in His inheritance. We must hold fast to this truth that HE rescued us from the darkness and the wickedness of this life, setting us free to live forever in the everlasting light of HIS presence.
The day is coming when HE will wipe away every tear. Death will be defeated, sickness will be gone, evil will be erased, and pain will be no more. It will said, “BEHOLD, THIS IS OUR GOD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM, AND HE WILL SAVE US. THIS IS THE LORD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM; WE WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN HIS SALVATION”
Isa 25:8-9, He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the LORD has spoken. (9) And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the LORD; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
Rev 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
