Col. 1:9, 10 some tings are just not understood unless spiritually

 

9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 

How do know his will?

How do you make decisions?

How do you know right and wrong?

How do you know what to do when both options seem right?

What do you do when you feel like the right decision is the wrong decision? 

 

Paul is stating a principle for life… WE NEED KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM THROUGH THE UNDERSTANDING HIS SPIRIT GIVES. and not just general decision… yes we need to seek God on day to day big decisions, but at the same time understand that it is the small decisions that push us in the direction of our full time life direction. 

When I was a sophomore in high school I had a crappy stereo. I love music, still do… and my best friends dad who had a killer massive stereo system was selling it at a really good price. This was 4 speakers, dual cassette deck, a balanced turntable, equalizer and to top it off a wood case for the stereo…. A Gusendorf to be precise. 

My mom and dad said NO. not now, too much. I tried my best to tell them it was a STEAL… they did not care. 

Does God care if you get a stereo? Does he care if you spend to much? 

A friend of mine told me a story of a young newly married man who came to church and asked for prayer… he needed a vehicle to get to and from work… his died. The next week he came into church and was bragging about the new truck he got… My friend said, that’s not Gods will… I asked him how he knew that… he said because God told me to give him mine… and he pulled out his title and then slipped it back into his pocket.

God cares about the small decision, the middle decisions, the medium decisions, the massive decisions and the seemingly non-consequential decisions. BUT YOU GOTTA MAKE THEM TUNED INTO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND GODS WISDOM. 

Mans wisdom does not cut it… you know scientists back in the day said… even if we  could create a car that went 100mph it would not be safe for humans… because if you stuck your head out the window to breathe your lungs would blow up….

Ahhh mans wisdom is folly. 

Seek his voice, seek his wisdom and be willing to make mistakes following his lead. That is how you learn to distinguish Gods wisdom and yours.

And for the record
