Colossians chapter 4 verses 5-6 (NIV)
Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; 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.
Following on from yesterday’s musing, we see here that Paul teaches of the need to deal wisely and with discernment when speaking to those who are not yet accepting of Christ. We should be able to be gracious and respond to their queries or opinions without compromising the truth. Indeed, Paul reminds us that we should take every opportunity to share the truth and not shy away from doing so.
Dear Lord,
I ask for Your forgiveness for not always making the most of every opportunity. Help me to be willing to participate more readily in a conversation with others regarding the things of God. May I do so with grace and wisdom that comes from You through the Holy Spirit. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
