PRAY, WATCH AND BE KIND
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
So simple and yet so compelling: pray, watch, and be kind. What a great reminder that we need to be purposed and present each day in the moment with God’s love for each other.
“Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” (Colossians 4:5-6)
We see a beautiful picture of community and friendship in Paul to the people that God put across his path. He cherished them and was grateful that God allowed Him to do his life with them. What encouragement that must have been to them when they read each letter he sent.
“I am sending him to you for this very purpose, that he may know your circumstances and comfort your hearts,” (Colossians 4:8)
Sometimes we think that we have to do a really big thing to play a significant role or to matter in the kingdom of God. This is not true! Paul shows us that the simple act of encouraging the hearts of others is a significant act of worship.
We all need to consider how today’s Bible verses should affect the way we believe and behave. We all need to take a moment to reflect and respond on a personal level with God, then see the lessons that God is challenging us within His Word. God loves to hear from us and blesses us when we encourage others!
How can you encourage someone with God’s Word today?
Heavenly Father, as I follow You, I will walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. I will have my speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that I may know how I ought to answer each one. I walk with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
