Christ Over Everything - ColossiansSample

Theme: Walk Wisely and Speak Graciously

Paul gives two powerful instructions: walk in wisdom toward outsiders and let your speech always be gracious. In other words, how you live and how you speak are both part of your witness. People are watching—and listening.

Wisdom means timing, discernment, and understanding your environment. Gracious speech isn’t just being nice—it’s being intentional, truthful, and seasoned with salt. Salt preserves and enhances. That’s what our words should do: bring life, preserve truth, and reflect the heart of Jesus.

This is especially relevant in a digital age where our words carry more weight than ever. Social media, texts, conversations—every word is an opportunity to either build up or tear down.

Daily Application: Before you speak or post today, pause and ask: Is this wise? Is this gracious? Let the Spirit guide your words and actions.
