Paul says, “[W]e have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” (Colossians 1:9, 10, ESV). Presented before us is the primary thing that was prayed for. Actually in examining the text, it will be seen that his primary prayer dominos into a list of positive consequences, which are also carefully spelled out. Let us consider the foundation to this, though. This foundation is found to be that of “knowledge.” That is interesting. That really might not be something that would be easily guessed. What are some things that might be guessed? How about spirituality? Filled with the spirituality… Or, how about love? That’s a good one. Love. Filled with the love… But, it’s neither of these, and it isn’t anything else. It’s knowledge. So, it is important at this point to ask why knowledge is the thing prayed for above all else. Knowledge is important because it provides the foundation, the bedrock, for everything else.
