“Let the message about Christ, in all its 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.” Colossians 3:16 NLT
If we want to be rich, (having a large amount of something desirable and valuable) and I’m not talking money here, but when it comes to meaning, purpose, relationships, spirituality, experiencing abundant life, then we need to ensure that the message about Christ is filling our lives! How? By talking to others, sharing what we’ve learned about Him, supporting each other by bringing Jesus into every situation and praying together, singing in worship and by focussing on things we can be thankful for! If life is looking empty and bankrupt, and I’m just feeling tired and weary then I need to ask myself, how much is my life filled with the message of Christ? Have I become disconnected from that message? When was the last time I sang or expressed some gratitude to God! Lord, may the richness that is only found in You fill my life today as I speak Your name, talk to someone about what You’ve done, and sing from a thankful heart. Help me to be intentional in my pursuit of You. Amen 🙏🏼
