New Insight into Psalm 23...series

"Considering further our little side trip into Colossians under the subject of guidance, we would point out that there are seven direct results enumerated by Paul which will be found in the life of every individual, and in the collective life of every church, where the will of God is known and done in God's way. Paul prays that these Colossian Christians may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in order that they may walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing(in all things to please God), that they may be fruitful unto every good work, that they may increase in the knowledge of God, that they might be strengthened with all might according to His glorious power, that they might have all patience in longsuffering , that they might be joyful, and furthermore, that they might give thanks unto the Father. Here, then, are seven things which will characterize the life of every person who knows and does the will of God in God's way. He will be obedient, fruitful, growing, strengthened, patient, joyful and thankful."
