VERSE:
Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of
every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace,
seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
-- Colossians 4:5-6

THOUGHT:
Jesus warned about our giving account for every idle word
(Matthew 12:36-37). Paul takes it a step further and emphasizes how
important this is with those who don't know Christ. We want to
seize every opportunity when around those who are not Christians
and show kindness, care, and control in the way we use our speech.
Someone's eternal destiny may be resting on our conversations with
them.
PRAYER:
Holy and Righteous God, I know you hate it when your people
wound and drive unbelievers away. Please help me display a winsome
attitude with all people, but especially those who do not yet know
Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
