Bible Quote Nov 13th Colossians 1:9

“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,” Colossians 1:9
===
Colossians is a letter to a small Christian community about 100 miles from Ephesus. There are questions about authorship. It reflects the epistle for Ephesians. Were it written by Paul, it was probably written in the sixth decade, when Paul was imprisoned in Rome. This chapter is structured as a greeting, faith in Christ and the preeminence of Christ. 

I argue it is better to hold to God and resist the Devil. Don't fight the Devil, as you end up dancing to his tune. This describes why it is better to hold to God.
