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
Be realistic…
Is it realistic to be positive about life, when there is so much trouble and strife in the world? Is it realistic to expect the best of yourself, and to expect the best for your own life? Is it realistic to expect that the future will be bright and full of joy?
Absolutely. In fact, to live positively and abundantly is the most realistic way to live. Reality is overwhelmingly abundant. Think of all the energy contained in just one day’s worth of sunlight. Think of all the beauty that comes with the change of each season. Think of all the incredible possibilities wrapped up in a single life.
Yes, there is some darkness in the world. Bad things happen. And the reason we hear so much about them, is because they are the exceptions. On the whole, life is positive and abundance is a reality.
Don’t be blinded by negativity. Be realistic. See the limitless possibility for good in your life, and live it.
