Expressions of Faith: Wisdom and Understanding

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,

(Colossians 1:9 NIV)

Wisdom and Understanding

In the second part of this verse, Paul describes how we can become knowledgeable of God's will.

The Holy Spirit provides both

·      wisdom (to know something is both valuable and from God) and

·      understanding (knowing not only the what but also the importance of something from God).

It’s up to us to be attentive to the Spirit!
