What would life be like if we knew God’s will and had wisdom and understanding? It would seem like a superpower. You could focus on what is most important and have the confidence knowing that you are on the right track, doing the right thing at the right time.
Wouldn’t it be incredible to please God in every way? Does this all seem too good to be true?
Is this even humanly possible? No, but through the power of the Holy Spirit living in us we can know God’s will, we can receive God’s wisdom and understanding. When we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in our thoughts, our words, our attitude and our actions we will please God.
This is Paul’s excellent prayer for the Colossians and it can be an excellent prayer for ourselves and each other. What would life be like if Colossians 1:9-14 was our daily prayer for the rest of January? Our February might be different. The rest of 2024 might be different. The rest of our lives might be different. Let’s allow the Lord through the power of the Holy Spirit to help us make a difference in the lives of those around us. All it takes is for us to surrender our independence and our control over every aspect of our life and hand the keys to the Lord and let him drive. The Lord does not want to be our co-pilot. He wants to fly the plane. When we allow him to do that, we will soar.
