Colossians 1:9-10

We pray that you’ll live well for the Master, making him proud of you as you work hard in his orchard. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work.
— The Message
We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit.
— New Living Translation

It always begins with God. Seeking, knowing and enjoying him must be primary. All of life flows from it. Incorrect ideas of God’s nature spawn bondage. Knowing him gives freedom and understanding of how to work his way.

Lord, it has taken me a lifetime to feel like I know you. How I wish it could have been so sooner. Thank you for healing me bit by bit, bringing me to this point. Let my progress shine into other lives, illuminating your glory.
