"A Prayerful Plea to Know and Do God's Will"

This was my prayer for myself and the body of Christ at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church this morning:

Read and meditate on Colossians 1:9-14. 

“A Prayer for Pleasing God and Obeying God’s Will”
Just some devotional thoughts from this moorings' meditation. I pray this would be a blessing to you this morning.

The outcome for the child of God who seeks to know and do the will of God in their life. As you seek the will of the Lord through His Word "knowledge and obedience" (v.9) you will produce fruit. So, what are you producing in your life?

1) You will bear fruit in every good work; increasing in good deeds for other people (v.10)
2) You will be increasing the knowledge of God (v.9
3) You will be strengthened with all power; you will get stronger in endurance (circumstances) and patient (with difficult people) with joy. I don’t run from difficult people, rather we love them more with joy. (v.11)
4) You will give thanks to the Father for the glorious gospel, which saved you and caused you to now seek His will and obey His Word. Therefore,  you will increase in being thankful for the gospel(v.12).

How’s it going? Are bearing fruit in serving others?
How’s it going? Are you learning more of Him?
How’s it going? Are you being strengthened by enduring difficult circumstances? Are you bearing in patience with joy?
How’s it going? Are you increasing in your thankfulness to the Lord for the gospel of Christ?
