Click here to go to Colossians 4
Not sure how I messed up the calendar, but I did.. I'll get it fixed probably the beginning of next week since the end of this week and the weekend are crazy busy... SORRY!
As Paul closes this letter he gives a direction about prayer that I haven't noticed before:
2 Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. 3 Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ. That is why I am here in chains. 4 Pray that I will proclaim this message as clearly as I should.
Alert mind...
"5 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone."
ReplyDeleteI didn't remember ever reading this passage and it was the PERFECT passage for me today. Thank you, Jesus.
