After considering a possible switch to Romans, I have decided to continue with my expositions on Colossians. This week I look at Colossians 1:9-14, which deals with the vital subject of praying for one another.
In these verses Paul describes his own prayers for the believers at Colosse, and by so doing he helps us to understand how and why we need to pray for one another. We can gain much insight into his thinking by relating these verses to Ephesians chapter 6. There, after explaining that we are engaged in a battle against cosmic powers, Paul instructs us to "keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" (Eph 6:18, ESV).

Last year I was expounding the Book of Colossians in these letters. I am considering changing that to another book of the Bible, but for now I would like to share with you from Psalm 33 on the subject of personal devotions. If you have time right now, why not be blessed by reading that Psalm?
It seems that we meet so many hindrances when it comes to personal devotions; perhaps the most common is that we feel we are too busy and battle to find time for devotions in the midst of our many responsibilities. I would like to suggest that there are at least two misconceptions which lead us to think that spending time alone with the Lord will prevent us from fulfilling our responsibilities.
