The Blessed Occupancy
Colossians 1:9-12
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you…


This is possible. Paul was in its enjoyment.

I. THE NATURE OF GOD'S WILL. The mill is the expression of the inner nature. God is love. His will is goodwill to all. It means happiness for all who will not thwart His loving purpose.

II. THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S WILL. This can be obtained by being willing to do, by searching the Scriptures and listening to the voice of the Spirit.

III. THE MEASURE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE. "Filled" — no room for self. Every cupboard opened, door unlocked, window raised, and the entire being flooded. Blessings then flow out.

(F. B. Meyer, B. A.)
