THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL – By Robert E. Hanna




    THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL 
By Robert E. Hanna



Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:3-11

While suffering agony in the garden, Jesus prayed,  "Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from me;  nevertheless NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE, BE DONE" (Luke  22:42). Always, it is God's will that must be honored-not  man's if His purpose is to be faithfully served. When Judah  observed religious rituals and festivals, God knew that they  were cold and empty displays of formal worship devoid of  heartfelt purpose. God responded sternly: "Bring no more  vain oblations: incense is an abomination unto me; the new  moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away  with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting .... And when ye  spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you"  (Isaiah 1:13, 15a).

Paul was intensely desirous that the saints should know  and do God's will. Tothe Colossian church he wrote, "[We] do  not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled  with THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL in all wisdom and  spiritual understanding; that ye might walk worthy of the  Lord." And he frequently dealt in specifics: "In every thing  give thanks: for this is THE WILL OF GOD in Christ Jesus  concerning you" (I Thessalonians 5:18).

In his Ephesian epistle, the apostle adjured, "Servants, be  obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh,  with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, AS UNTO  CHRIST; not with eyeservice, as men pleasers; but as the  servants of Christ, DOING THE WILL OF GOD FROM THE·  HEART" (Ephesians 6:5-6).
