In Colossians 4, Paul teaches that we should devote ourselves to prayer continually, being watchful in expectation of God's providence, and always giving thanks to Him for answered prayers. Paul then calls us to be wise in our actions when among unbelievers, so that we can make the best use of every opportunity to witness the gospel of Christ. We need to be sure our interactions and conversations with unbelievers are always full of grace ("seasoned with salt"), so that we may know how to respond with a fitting answer to everyone.

In Colossians 3, Paul provides a lot of guidance for Christian living. He says: set your sights on the realities of heaven, think about the things of heaven, put to death the sinful earthly things lurking within you, don't be greedy, don't lie to each other, put on your new nature, be renewed, clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, make allowance for each other's faults, forgive anyone who offends you, clothe yourselves with love, let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts, live in peace, always be thankful, let the message about Christ, in all it's richness, fill your lives, teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives, sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts, whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord, giving thanks to Him, serve sincerely because of your reverent fear of the Lord, work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord, and remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward.
Lord, give us the strength and courage to do these things more consistently so that our lives might be pleasing to you. Amen.

From Colossians 2:

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Colossians 1 is about Christ's deity and headship over the church, which is His body. Paul describes Christ as the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, creator of all things, before all things, the one who holds all things together, the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, all fullness, the hope of glory, and the head over every power and authority. Paul's message in this chapter is that Christ is the Head of the universe and He is the source of our wisdom, life, and hope.

In Philipians 4 , Paul asks us to rejoice in the Lord always, "I will say it again , rejoice!". He explains that we need to understand a lesson that he learned, being content in any and every situation, whether living in plenty or in want. He says that we should be anxious for nothing, but through prayer God will provide peace and guard our hearts and minds. God wants us to dwell on righteous thoughts , whatever is noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, praiseworthy, "think on these things ". Then, God's peace will be with us and we will be content in every circumstance. Paul says that we will also be able to endure hardships and stand firm "through Him who gives me strength". Paul says, "my God will meet all your needs, according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus".

Phil 3 says we should rejoice in the Lord, put no confidence in the flesh, and "press on to take hold of that for which Christ took hold of me". Paul says there is nothing that compares to the "greatness of knowing Christ" and the "righteousness that comes from God". Remember that "we are citizens of heaven, where our Lord Jesus Christ lives" and He will one day "take our mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own". Be encouraged that though we will not reach perfection on earth, we will receive the "heavenly prize" for which God has called us. We can be glad that it's His race and we don't have to run by our own strength. Our confidence is in His promise that we will indeed "win the race".

Philipians 2 Paul instructs us to be like Christ , united in spirit and love, intent on one purpose. We are told not to be selfish, but to act with humility, being concerned more about others. "Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him."
