Paul’s Thanksgiving and Prayer
9 So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.
The Apostle Paul indicates in these verses that learning God’s will and growing in His grace is a process rather than an instantaneous act. He is speaking to the Church at Colossi, believers, yet he says “… give you complete knowledge … give you spiritual wisdom and understanding … you will grow as you learn…”.
We are not finished products. God is still working on us. Let us purpose in our hearts to study more so we might grow faster … in His time.
