Please read devotional #39 with reference to Colossians 1:9-10. This letter written from prison was in response to a report on what was happening in the life of a church, much like we may learn of what is taking place in the life of a loved one, friend or neighbor. The response to the report, was not just this letter, but a prayer redirecting their focus upon Christ and all that is offered to those who dwell in Him. Scripture speaks of knowledge of His will, which is very different from mere knowledge about Him. We are to seek His will through spiritual wisdom if we are to live a life pleasing to Him. A life in Christ lived in this manner, bears fruit, good work and growth in the ways of the Lord.

10-10-10 is coming October 10, 2010. The Oregon Pacific District Church of the Nazarene, some 76 Churches, is seeking 1,000 people who will pray for 1,000 individuals to be saved within the next church year. Would you consider being one who would pray for salvation for those the Lord would lay on our heart? Would you be willing to pray for the prayer lists of others?
