Colossians 1:10

We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.

Three lines.  The power in the above three lines is simple yet a complete statement of the will of God for our lives.  What does He want us to have?  Knowledge of His will with wisdom and understanding so we may live a life that pleases Him.  So, we can what?  Bear fruit in every good work and if I bear fruit than I am producing something and fulfilling my calling here on earth. At the end of the day, when I lay down to sleep, I don’t want to feel my time has been wasted.  As I bear fruit I grow in the knowledge of God and knowledge is power for a better life.
