Colossians 1:10-12 "Pleasing God: Part 1"


            “And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.”

            The scriptures lay it out for us, as simple as they can be; bearing fruit in good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened in Him, and joyfully giving thanks brings God pleasure. Each of these things, however, is much more easily said than done. Each requires a desire to follow Him.
