Colossians 1:9-10

Biblical Context

Paul prays that you be filled with the knowledge of God's will through wisdom and spiritual understanding. This enables you to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Colossians 1:9-10 as an invitation to awaken to your true state of consciousness. The writer prays that you be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. This 'knowledge' is not a ledger of external facts but a turning of attention to the I AM within, the living awareness that you are. When you acknowledge that the will of God is your own inner realization, you begin to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord—an expression of grace, harmony, and fruitful deeds that spring from that inner comprehension. The mind, when still and attentive, receives guidance as light; discernment arises as the discipline of aligning thought and action with love. As you grow in this interior knowledge, your outward life becomes a clear demonstration of your inward alignment: more wisdom, more humility, more fruit in every good work, and a deepening knowledge of God. The whole verse shows that true progress comes not from striving externally but from beholding and embodying the divine will within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state, 'I know the will of God for me now,' and feel that certainty as a present fact. Let every action today be a reflection of that inner knowledge, walking worthy of the Lord.
