    Paul’s prayer burst into an overflow of thankfulness & praise. This thankfulness was because their lives demonstrated that God was at work in them and in the church. The Gospel was bearing fruit in & through their lives.

    COLOSSIANS 1: 3-8 AN OUTPOURING OF THANKFULNESS [1 Peter 1:3-8] Paul gave continual thanks to God in his prayers.

    Just as the crowds praised and then a few days later crucified Jesus. We must be a people that "stays the course" and follows Jesus as Lord, not as a "quick fix" for our problems.
