"Subjection!"
"DOING God's Will!"

Ephesians 1:7-10 (New International Version) In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.

Before the Apostle Paul received 'Divine Revelation' of Christ, he had studied the 'Scriptures' extensively concerning God's Law, yet he had never 'Learned' of God's Purpose for his life.
Wisdom and Understanding, as Paul says, is lavished upon Believers in Christ concerning God's Will through HIS Grace, where the 'Mystery' is 'Revealed', and the 'Fulfillment' of HIS Eternal Plan of Redemption is made known to all in Christ.
Pleasing God begins with 'Subjection' to HIS Will rather than my own, seeking HIS Ways and Thoughts are foreign to me in the fleshly realm of carnal understanding, yet Holy Spirit guides me into a greater 'Knowledge' of my 'Purpose'.
To 'Learn' as the Apostle Paul writes, by God's Spirit are Believers 'Taught' their Purpose, and it is HIS Spirit who 'Watches' over every 'Good and Perfect WORK' bringing them into 'Subjection' for HIS Pleasure and to HIS Glory.
The 'Knowing' part is vital and of the utmost importance in my life as a Believer in Christ, yet it is the 'DOING' part which brings increase to the Kingdom of God.
The Apostle James wrote this WORD, that I should live in 'Subjection' to God and be a 'DOER' of HIS 'Good and Perfect Will',
James 1:22-25 (New International Version) Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
More of who Christ IS to me!
          MORE like HIM,
                      I desire to be!!
                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!
