Why does Paul pray for patience and long suffering with joyfulness? Is there a difference between knowing about God and actually knowing God? How do I grow in the knowledge of God daily?Key points from this devotion:- Paul prayed that believers would be filled with wisdom and spiritual understanding- Walking worthy means our conduct and lifestyle should be pleasing to God- Being fruitful in every good work is part of God's desire for every believer- Increasing in the knowledge of God requires reading, studying, and accepting His Word- Knowing God personally is salvation — knowing Him fully is the journey of a lifetimeIf this devotion encouraged you today, please like, comment, and share it with someone who needs a word.
