Col 4:3 At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the message, to speak the mystery of the Messiah--for which I am in prison--Col 4:4 so that I may reveal it as I am required to speak.
Isn’t it nice to be comfortable? To have a place to live, to have enough food to eat, to have plenty of friends; comfort is almost viewed as a necessity. We don’t only like to be comfortable with our “things,” but also our “me space.” It seems the majority of us like to live in our little “bubble” and only allow certain people in. What about those that need to hear about Jesus? Are we pushing them away without even knowing it? Just so we can be “comfortable?” What would happen if prayed this prayer like Paul requests? Not only if we prayed it, but actually meant it. What if we truly desired to no longer be comfortable; no longer satisfied with an average Christian walk? How would our lives be different if we asked God to “open doors?”
Paul was never one to settle for comfortable or average. He was one of the most influential men the Christian world has ever seen. He tells us in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Be imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ.” How about we start here? Ask God to open doors for you to share His story.
