Colossians 4

Below is Colossians 4:2-6.  I think this is so relevant for us today that an explanation is hardly needed.

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.  Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.  Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." Colossians 4:2-6.

Are you devoted to prayer? Are you watchful?  Are you thankful?

Do you pray for those spreading the Gospel so that they have open doors?  Do you pray for the missionaries your church supports?

Do you pray that the teachers and preachers around you can proclaim the Gospel clearly all the time?

Are you ready to make every interaction with a non-believer count for the Kingdom?

Do your conversations exude grace?  Do they leave people hungry for more because of the holy salt that is infused in your words?  Do you pray for that to be the case?

Pray the prayer of Paul in this passage for yourself and those Christians around you today.
