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 always be full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. (Col. 4:4-6)
Thoughts: Paul was always looking for an opportunity to share his greatest love- his Lord. He asked for prayer to get the word out and encouraged them to make the most of every opportunity. Paul asked that their conversation be full of grace and seasoned with salt. That is it was to be kind, listening, but not afraid to speak up for God. The world needs to know of the love of God- that they are not alone, and may have hope and a purpose. When we speak with grace and salt trying to honor God- the Holy Spirit gives us wisdom so we may answer everyone who has questions. Paul asks for prayer because it is God who helps us speak, using the most of the mission opportunities before us.
Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to the mission opportunities before me this day. Let my words be sweet and salty- and honoring toward you.
