(these
posts are simply taken from my notes written during the missions trip
I went on. Short & simple).
Colossians
3:23-25; 4:2-6*
And
whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to
men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of
the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who
does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no
partiality.
*Continue
earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with
thanksgiving; meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open
to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which
I am also in chains, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to
speak.
Walk
in wisdom toward those who
are outside,
redeeming the time. Let your
speech always bewith
grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer
each one.
This
really spoke to me in these 4 concepts:
- We don't always have control over our situations but whatever we do, do it heartily to the Lord.
- Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. Speak what God puts in your heart, not what you put there.
- Hesitation in speaking the Gospel could result in tragedy for the other person. We might be the only people who ever tells them about the Good News.
- Make every conversation meaningful! Take it as an opportunity to plant a seed.
Think
on it!
God
bless, and blog soon
