LIVING WISELY

” LIVE WISELY AMONG THOSE WHO ARE UNBELIEVERS AND MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY. LET YOUR CONVERSATION BE GRACIOUS AND ATTRACTIVE SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE THE RIGHT RESPONSE FOR EVERYONE. ” COLOSSIANS 4:5-6

We all have neighbors or friends or co-workers who are unbelievers. Some are good church goers but have not accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. Some may believe quite contrary to what we believe. Others may not believe at all, trusting only in the world around them. As believers in Christ, we have to be prepared to communicate with all of those around us no matter their beliefs. In order for us to be prepared, it is important that we have a strong prayer life. We must allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives and we must be willing to be patient and quiet before him so that we are able to follow his instructions. He will lead us in the way we are to handle each and every person we communicate with. He will give us the words and the actions we need to live wisely among them. We must be gracious and caring. It is important they feel the love of Jesus radiating from us. We must not be so overbearing that we are turning them away from the Lord before we even get started. Each person is different, and each conversation will be different. We must be prepared. This is an everyday occurrence. The Lord has given us tools to use but we must be able to use them wisely. We must stay plugged into the Lord and be patient. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
