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.

Right Place…
I am in my right place throughout this divine appointment day.
I will have divine appointments today in which I am in my right place to give or receive a blessing. These are important events that are not happening by chance but according to a divine design.
Yet I may have no indication that I am showing up for a divine appointment. Sometimes my first response in participating in the unfoldment of a divine plan seems, at the very least, unrelated to the positive and powerful results that are about to occur. The extraordinary, however, does come about.
As that divine plan continues to unfold, it is a revelation for me. I understand that because I acted in faith and with conviction, I accepted an opportunity to bless and be blessed. And the journey continues as I move through life being in my right place.
“So Abraham called that place ‘The Lord will provide’; as it is said to this day, ‘On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.'” —Genesis 22:14
