Colossians 4:5-6
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.
What of Today’s Verse…
There are no random acts of kindness, only intentional acts given the opportunity to happen. This is true not just in deeds, but in words as well. But more than trying to avoid poor speech, we are urged to use our speech to bless and help others to come to know Christ.

Let us Pray:
Father, forgive me for the careless words I have uttered this week. I understand that these careless words are twice sins—a sin once when I committed it and a sin a second time because I didn’t see the opportunity to be redemptive. Open my eyes Lord so that I may see what you have placed in my path. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Dive in…

There is so very much work to be done. And truly what a blessing that is. Because getting things done is what you do best. Getting things done is what keeps life interesting, fulfilling and vibrantly moving forward.
You won’t get it all done today, or tomorrow, or next week or next year. But that’s a good thing, not a reason for dismay. Just think how terribly empty life would be if you never had anything to do. How truly fortunate you are to be alive and able to make a difference.
Now is an ideal moment to get busy making that difference. Now is a great time to enthusiastically dive in and get to work on all that can be done.
If you’re overwhelmed by thinking of all there is to be done, stop thinking about it so much and start working on it. You have the chance to make a real difference for as long as you choose to do so.
