Re:Verse passage – Colossians 4:2-6 (day two) Devote yourselves to prayer. vs 1a
Take this week’s passage in addition to chapter three and consider the weight of these words. How can we adequately treat others the way God intends for us to if we are not seeking guidance, strength, and forgiveness from the Lord? The necessity to pray cannot be overstated. Paul recognizes that all the he has written to the Colossian church is dependent upon an active and vibrant prayer life. Want to treat your spouse better? Pray more. Want to treat your children with more grace? Pray more. Do you need assistance in the way you handle work relationships? Pray more.
Paul is not giving a formula for success, but a foundation to build your faith journey upon.
Amen!
Reading this morning George Mueller’s, Answers to Prayer, (which is by the way free right now on Kindle). Convinced we are not praying and trusting as a people the way we should.
