Whatever you do whether in speech or in action, do it in the name of the Lord Jesus…
I remember Mom and Dad keeping an eye on us as we were growing up. If we said or did something wrong, we heard about it. Mostly kindly advice, but sometimes a stern response. Good guidance. Not so easy now without their intervention.
Maybe we’re ready to speak quickly when someone’s words get to us. Or we want to show just how we feel when faced with what we don’t like. How could it be different if we paused for a moment, then prayed silently and put it in His hands?
This section of Paul’s letter above and below in bold focuses on morals in response to God through Christ.
“…Give thanks to God the Father through him.”—Colossians 3:17
