We see in this verse that God desires several things from us. He wants us to live a life that is pleasing unto Him. We know that the faith life is a life that is pleasing unto God because without faith it is impossible to please Him (Hebrews 11:6). Another way of pleasing God is living a consecrated, holy life. A life that is dedicated to Him and walking in His Word. God also desires for us to experience increase in our lives. According to this verse, one way to experience increase is through increasing in the knowledge of the Word of God. As we increase in our time in the Word, increase will take place in our lives. The Word of God tells us, “So mightily grew the Word and prevailed” (Acts 19:20). As we increase in the things of God, we can expect things to increase in our lives. When we seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, all the things will be added unto us. (Matthew 6:33)
