Communion With God

Colossians 4:2-6 "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.... 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."

Am I devoted to prayer?  I love to sit and talk with my hubby.  It doesn't really matter what we talk about just as long as it's time together.  My mom's phone number get dialed a few times every day.  We may not have anything in particular to discuss.  I just love knowing she is on the other end of the line.  Strong Christian friends are so special.  Without an agenda, we can talk about anything and know that it will go back to the Lord.

Do I value and treasure the time that I can have with God the same way I love the time I have with people that are so dear to me?  Whatever I may be going through, whatever my worries are, I can go to Him and know that I will be encouraged, granted discernment, and comforted.  Talking with the Lord and being in his word on a constant basis helps a great deal with fulfilling what the He asks of me in Colossians 4.

In the gospels we are told to go into all nations and tell others about the HIM.  Being in communion with God is our instruction manual.  How do we function without it?
