Ready to Rescue Day 37

⁹ And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual understanding, ¹⁰ so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience and joy. 

Praise God that He has made Himself know to us. Repent of lack of seeking and searching to know God and walk in a manner worthy of Him. Ask God to help you know Him better and to bear fruit in the way that you live your life. Yield to God's power to give you endurance and patience and joy.
