Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Pablo escribió estas palabras a los Cristianos que vivian en Colosas pero nunca habia estado en su ciudad. A pesar de su falta de conocimiento "personal," Dios lo utilizo a bendecir a los Colocenses. Oró para que conocieran más a Dios y su voluntad. Que idea magnífica. Cada uno de nosotros debe buscar a un ministerio lejos de nosotros que no conocemos personalmente y empezar a orar por los creyentes allá, pidiendo que Dios les ayúde a conocerle y su voluntad con más plenitud.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Paul wrote these words to the Christians at Colossae, but he had never been there. Despite his lack of "in-person" knowledge of them, he ministered effectively to them. He prayed specifically for them to better know God and his will. He assured them that they received the complete message of the gospel of Jesus when Epaphras preached it to them (Colossians 1:7, 4:12). What a great idea! Let's find a mission church (inner city, overseas, or planted in a hostile environment) and pray consistently for that congregation, asking God to help them know him, know his will more perfectly, and reassure them of his love for them.

My Prayer...
Holy and all-powerful God, please bless my church family with a deeper knowledge and appreciation of your nature, character, and grace. In addition, please bless mission churches and those working with them (add your mission church of choice). Bless them with growth, health, assurance, and, most of all, knowledge of you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
