Last week I did a post reminding you that I am praying for you.
This week I wanted to share a scripture that I have been praying over you.
Colossians 1:10
".....so that your lifestyle will please God, your efforts in ministry will be productive, and your understanding of who God is will continually enlarge."
I love the scope that this one verse covers in prayer.
I know all of us who are born again desire to have a lifestyle that pleases Him. When our hearts are right and we miss it, we feel grieved. I am praying for you that your lifestyle will please Him.
Next I praying that you will be productive in ministry. All of us as Christians have a ministry. It may not be in a pulpit but God has put people in your life that need your ministry. When we minister we like to see results. Sometimes our ministry is in prayer for others, a testimony or word of encouragement or maybe an act of kindness.
Then the last part of the verse talks about our spiritual growth. We need to be growing spiritually everyday. Never let a day go by that you don't feed on the Word. Whether it's reading the Bible or listening to a CD while you are driving to work, get the Word. We have to make a conscious effort to move forward or we begin to slip back.
I wanted to share this verse with you and I hope you will use it for your prayer time too.
