21 Days of Gratitude - Day 9

Thankful for the Message of Christ

“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.”  Colossians 3:16 NIV

The word richly found in this verse comes from the Greek word plousiōs meaning abundantly. What Paul is telling us here is the gospel message of Jesus Christ should overflow from us in such a way that we want to teach and admonish (warn and exhort) others.

Paul also states we must use wisdom when teaching and admonishing,  and then proceeds to give us a great way to share the message of Christ and that is by using psalms, hymns, songs from the Spirit, and most importantly: singing to God with a grateful heart.

My Response: Take time to let the gospel message of Jesus Christ fill my heart to overflowing so that I might share about how thankful I am for what the Lord has done for me to others in word, or perhaps even, in a song of praise.

I'll praise you Oh Lord with a new song for what you have done for me! Thank you for redeeming me from Hell and setting me free through Christ Jesus!
