Truth

Colossians 1:7-14

I am challenged and in awe of the commitment and dedication of Paul in this section of scripture. Look at Paul’s words, “We have not stopped praying for you”.  Is that how you pray for people?  I do believe the prayer Paul takes to God is the very best we can ask for anyone on our prayer list.

Look at the list  he is asking for:

- Complete knowledge of God’s will
- Spiritual wisdom and understanding
- Strength from God’s power
- Endurance and Patience
- Filled with Joy

I don’t know about you, but I think those things would be a true blessing in my life.  I am praying this for everyone I know right now. Friends and enemies, family and acquaintances … EVERYONE I can think of.  I think all could use this blessing in there life.  Will you join me in the prayer?  Will you continue the prayer as long as you can?

“We have not stopped”!

Paul has some great reminder at the end of this reading passage.  God  has rescued us from the dark kingdom and placed us in the Kingdom of His Son.  This rescuing was not free, it was purchased with the blood of Christ.  He gave up His life so that we could have forgiveness.
