Ephesians 1:2 “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.” One of the most dangerous activities a person prone to any addiction is to isolate. To lack the companionship of others causes anyone to dwell on all the negatives life offers. If one wants to do well there must be a relationship with others who desire to serve their Heavenly Father and help others to enjoy the success our God blesses us with. If we do find ourselves alone at times, the MOST valuable activity any of can do is talk with our Savior.

Colossians 4:5 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.” Never stop praying for wisdom. Never act any other way than exposing the truths of grace. Never be anything other than humble. Always know you represent your Savior. Always be thankful for the blessings you enjoy daily. Always read, study and apply the absolute truths of the Bible for therein we all find both temporal and eternal life.

Colossians 4:2 “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” There is no greater love than the love God has for each of us. We all cherish His concern for each of us. You and I never want to feel we are not loved by others, but above all we never want to feel we are not loved by our Almighty God. Wouldn’t that love then create a natural desire to communicate (pray) with our God. Besides telling others about Him, there is nothing more valuable we can do than converse with Him all day, every day. Enjoy that privilege. (My computer was in for repair last week-that’s why no devotions)

Colossians 3:23-24 “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Have you ever been asked–who do you work for? And was your answer–a certain school district or a large manufacturing company, or an insurance company or maybe you said–myself, as I’m self-employed. You and I as Christians should reply–just as this passage says—you and I work for the Lord and we will therefore always do our absolute best. So, now, who do you work for?

Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Whatever is a very inclusive word. There are no exceptions. A Christian therefore includes God in 100% of words and actions-all day long. That activity certainly requires our Savior at our side. All of us pray for that life and for His company as a constant.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” It is impossible for a Christian to live and not show gratitude to God for the blessings He has given each of us. As we live, as we talk to one another, as we go to sleep and as we wake up, how can we do anything other than be appreciative for all we are blessed to enjoy, the greatest of all being His great love for us, His adopted children.
