Height And Depth

Scripture: 9 Since the day we got this good news about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We ask:
This is a prayer for knowledge and insight that only can come from God.
Father, may they clearly know Your will and achieve the height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 May their lives be a credit to You, Lord; and what’s more, may they continue to delight You by doing every good work and growing in the true knowledge that comes from being close to You. 11 Strengthen them with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that they will have everything they need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully. 12 Thank You, Father, as You have made us eligible to receive our portion of the inheritance given to all those set apart by the light. 13 You have rescued us from dark powers and brought us safely into the kingdom of Your Son, whom You love 14 and in whom we are redeemed and forgiven of our sins [through His blood]. (Colossians 1:9-14 The Voice) Paul prayed many prayers for the churches and people that he cared about. His desire was for them to know and love the One he knew and loved (and diligently served). The height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding was what he wanted for them. I believe that what he prayed for them is also important for us today. Let’s take the time to think about these things:
• Continue to delight in God by doing good work
• Grow in true knowledge
• Be strengthened in God’s infinite power so we can hold on and endure patiently and joyfully Yes, Lord, I do take the time right now to think on Your faithfulness to help me as I continue on this journey of life with You. I want to delight in You always, grow in true knowledge, and be strengthened by You. Thank You. AMEN I love You, Lord, as one of Your faithful ones! I will be strong and take courage as I put my hope in You. I praise You for Your unfailing love. Psalm 31
