Colossians 4:1-6

“Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time” (v5). Paul reminded the believers that every interaction with “outsiders” (non-believers) was significant, and therefore they should “continue steadfastly in prayer” so that those relationships and encounters would reflect Jesus (v2). Their speech was especially important (v6); they should always speak graciously and “with salt” - thoughtfully, with meaning – so that outsiders would hear the truth in a persuasive way and sense God’s love.

“… making the best use of the time” (v5). Every day is a unique opportunity to know Jesus and, by the Spirit’s power, to make Him known to the those around us.
