Filled with the Knowledge of His Will

Yeah. Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Filled with the knowledge of His will. For this cause, we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you. To desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.

Colossians 1:9. Paul has chosen a particular word, pleiru, to describe an action that fills to the top, so that the knowledge about which he prays has no more space to fill. While speaking to his friends in Rome, Paul said that he was persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able to also admonish one another. This includes the kind of knowledge in the Greek Epignosis. of God's will that stresses precise and complete understanding of that will for our lives.

according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine nature, These things, the knowledge, the precious promises, enable us to escape the corruption that is in the world through lust. This magnificent and complete knowledge of his will includes the wisdom, in Greek Sophia, to use the knowledge acquired by experience. it even includes the grace God made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence. which, since it comes from God, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. The wonderful knowledge and wisdom that God has provided for us includes a spiritual understanding in the Greek pneumaticos pseunesis An ability to put complicated matters together with the mind of Christ.

Indeed, he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. Consider what I say, and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Second Timothy, two, seven.
