Are you truly growing in the knowledge of God, or do you only know about Him? In this Words From The Word daily devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Colossians 1:9-12 (KJV) and walks us through the Apostle Paul's powerful prayer for the believers at Colosse — a prayer that asked for no material things, only that they would know God more deeply, walk worthy of Him, and bear fruit in every good work.

You might be asking — what does it mean to walk worthy of the Lord? 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 lifetime
