Are you ALERT?

Today I was drawn to the word, “thanks” again. It is something we are commanded to do, and this verse is another that states it well.

Colossians 4:2

Keep persisting in prayer, staying alert in it and being thankful. (CJB)

Three things:

Persist in PRAYER!

Stay alert in PRAYER!

Be THANKFUL!

Not difficult, but when the worries and cares of life come, it is hard. When the “crap hits the fan” and life just doesn’t go the way we think it should, persisting in prayer and giving thanks are easy to “throw out with the bath water.” It is easy to just let it “go down the drain.”

God’s Word is always clear that we should NOT do this. We MUST stand firm and PERSIST! We MUST stay ALERT!

I chose the picture that I did because I want us to focus on being ALERT! We need to stand aware of our surroundings.

What are YOU doing today to BE THANKFUL. What are YOU doing today to PERSIST! Are YOU staying ALERT?
