Full Knowledge

So I was reading Colossians the other day and I found something interesting. Paul prayed, in 1:9, that they would be "filled with the knowledge of His will". The word in the Greek means the "full knowledge" or "complete understanding". We can know fully what God has for us in His will each day!!! He wanted them to know fully the will of God so that they could "increase in the knowledge of God". This literally means in the Greek to "grow in the FULL KNOWLEDGE (same word, you guessed it) of God". This tells me that we have not yet come to a place where we can know God fully. In Romans, it says, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us". That glory is when we meet Christ and see Him as He is because we will be like Him!!!

So often, we treat knowing the will of God the same as knowing God. So many people in the church of today do very little because they "don't know enough" or "aren't spiritual enough". We cannot be expected to know God enough, but we can know His will and His will is for each member of His Body to be doing something for Him. Seek the will of God and you will find it.
