Colossians 1
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Interpreting The Bible
So, how do we become filled with His (God's) will? To a great extent, we read the Bible. And, needless to say, we need to interpret what we read. I have found the Hebrew concepts of interepretation helpful. I stumbled across this when I was studying the Mesorites and how we came to have the KJV.

Most important to me is to, day by day, read the Bible and first find the simple meaning, Pshat, of each verse. Upon this can be build a proper understanding of God's word.
