Avery had her seventh month
birthday yesterday! Amazing how quick the time goes by. We praise the Lord for
every moment we have. Pray she gets to feeling better, as the rest of us could
use the same prayer.
Have a great Sunday my friend.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. 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 4:3-6
Paul at this time was in prison for his words spoken to the world that Jesus is the Christ; the messiah. We know he wrote this letter during a time when he was in chains and sought the prayers of the saints. He knew that he needed prayer from others to keep going for the Lord uses the intercessors to bring power and strength.
One thing Paul was sure of was his faith and that the days were only going to get more evil. With that knowledge every minute and hour became precious and every opportunity must be used to speak of Jesus. But we must never come off as judgmental people who are simply banging down our ideas. Let Jesus flow from your heart with your tongue filtered through grace.
Do not stop ceasing in prayer, beloved, for the Lord hears every word spoken to Him through faith. Pray for church leaders, teachers, anyone who is at work spreading the truth of the Lord to this dying world. Pray with intensity for the hour of darkness is near, and the light of the world shines only as bright as you give yourself over to Him.
Have a great Sunday my friend.
