Constantly
dwell on the word of Christ while you teach and remind each other whether
singing or reading, let your hearts focus with gratitude on him. In each thing
you do or say, be sure everything brings glory to Jesus and is done as He leads
you. (Colossians 3:16-17)
You can never dwell on the word of Christ
too much. If you have sought the Lord’s guidance; His plan for you and your
people, He has given you a word specific to that work. The direction or vision
for your way forward together and the important principles or values that He
impressed upon you as vital, are part of God’s word.
Paul says here to read and re-read, sing and
re-sing, teach, and remind each other constantly of this word from God. Paul
knows the value of this repetition. He knows this constant focus will serve to
renew your heart, change you, and grow you. As they hear you speak with passion
about the way forward, your people will be drawn to recognize and appreciate
the work of Jesus more each day.
Focus on the word of God, the Scriptures,
the hymns and Psalms, and His personal word to you for your life today. Dwell
on this word to find the life He desires for you.
