Colossians 3:16
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach
and admonish one another with all wisdom through
psalms, hymns, and songs from the
Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
We have trouble living in peace alone, and this
is why here in this passage we are encouraged to encourage others to “let” the
message of Christ live in us richly!
How can we do this?
Psalms: There are 150 chapters of them, and
they’re amazingly full of the angst we all feel with the pressures of life, and
then the joy that comes from praising Him.
Hymns: These are celebratory songs of the
goodness of God, and there are plenty of them on YouTube or Spotify or all
sorts of places! Play them, and share
them!
Songs from the Spirit: These are instantaneous
songs that God inspires in our hearts – songs of hope and faith – and they may
only include a line or two – but they’re powerful. Sing them!
And we can do these three things with gratitude
for knowledge that Christ dwells in us, and he is our hope and shield, our
peace and ruler over all that concerns us, and over all that concerns those
that we love.
