Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. (Colossians 4:2 NLT)
Paul wrote this when he was in prison, bounded by chains and held captive. Even in his state, he still encouraged the people to be prayerful and thankful. Wow, put that in the modern context and people will call you crazy. But hey, do we do things for the people around us or do we do it for God? God's ways has never been mainstream and people of the world will never understand it. Being crazy in people's eyes is definitely better because we are not conforming to what the world does, but instead we are carrying out what God wants us to. Just like how Paul was becoming more like Christ each day, God I pray that I will be like him too. As each day passes, I pray that I will become more and more like Jeaus.
