Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus is understanding God’s will in all wisdom & spiritual understanding!
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;”
Colossians 1:9 NKJV
“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,”
Galatians 4:4 NKJV
Understanding God’s will is understanding God !
It has majorly three dimensions: 1. What is the will of God ( the knowledge) ; 2. When will He execute His will (the wisdom); 3. How will He execute His Will ( the understanding).
As it is important to know His Will , it is also equally important to understand the timing of His Will (Wisdom )and the fashion how He executes the Will (spiritual understanding).
In fact, the fashion how He executes His Will can be beyond human understanding. God promised Israel that He would send the Messiah to them who would save them from their enemies and grant them an everlasting Kingdom.
God did send the Messiah who is Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son. But, the way He executed His Will is by causing a Virgin to conceive by the power of the Holy Spirit, to be born in a manger in Bethlehem, a little town which was the least among the towns of Judah. This dimension of the Spiritual understanding was far beyond human understanding & even staggering to carnal minds because of which it was even unacceptable to most of the Jewish minds .
Where they were expecting their Messiah the King of Kings to be born in a palace as an awesome and glorious personality in all pomp & splendour , Jesus was born in a manger swaddled in rags, born to a poor carpenter’s family, brought up in a village called Nazareth. The way God executed His Will was diagonally opposite to human expectations . Most of the Jews of Jesus’s time completely missed the point and fought His will that even led them to kill the Lord Jesus. *But, God raised Him from the dead having accomplished His mission fully & finally which was to the total amazement of all men & even the demonic forces . Oh the wisdom & the understanding of God!!
My beloved , it is so vital to understand these three dimensions of God’s Will lest we may be found fighting God though we may have the zeal to serve God & the sincerity to do His will .
“Father, fill me with the knowledge of Your Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding “. Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
