“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
Singing has been part of church tradition for thousands of years. Even if you don’t consider yourself much of a singer, or standing in a room full of people singing just feels alien to you, can I encourage you to push past those feelings and do it anyway, because this is not just about singing songs, this is about letting the message of Christ fill our lives, it’s about encouraging each other. When I engage my mind and my mouth in the worship and praise of God, He is magnified and there is less room for doubts and fears to take hold, less room for hurts and offences to be held on to. Less of me and more of Him. His peace a protective factor that guards my heart! What message is filling your life right now? What is overflowing from your heart out of your mouth? Is it Jesus, or something else? Lord, help me to sing a new song, may my life be marked by the richness of my faith in You, the words on my lips evidence of a thankful heart that is filled with You! Amen 🙌🏼😊
