“Let Every Word”
Devotional for Wednesday, October 10, 2018
“Walk in the wisdom of God as you live before the unbelievers, and make it your duty to make him known. Let every word you speak be drenched with grace and tempered with truth and clarity. For then you will be prepared to give a respectful answer to anyone who asks about your faith.”
Colossians 4:5-6 The Passion Translation
How can we make Him known? How can we make unbelievers aware of His love and presence in our life? As I am meditating upon these questions, the first word that came up from my spirit was ~ encounters~. Interesting that one of the definitions for encounters is to come upon or meet with ~ especially unexpectedly.
Wow! I love when good opportunities happen unexpectedly. These are great encounters! I think of the many divine appointments God has unexpectedly presented to me in what seemed to be an ordinary trip to the grocery store, or in the midst of doing errands. I love those opportunities to share God‘s wisdom, His love, and the truth of His Word. When our words are drenched and saturated with His grace, and our words are clear and full of truth they will surely touch a heart. So today I am encouraging you to make Him known and expect those unexpected encounters. Be ready to give an answer to that inquiring heart about the living God the dwells within you!
