Tue Devo Colossians 3:16

Colossians 3:16

"Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God."

Coming off the weekend where we talked about 40 hours of poverty I have been thinking much about how rich we are in Christ. So when I read this verse the word richly jumped out. How rich we are to have the words of Christ. How blessed our lives are because we are instructed by His words as to how to live. I love the way the message puts it when it says, "let the Word of Christ have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives." Notice that the richness of God word dwelling in our lives is not just for us. It is to be given away as we teach and admonish one another. It dawned on me that any riches given to us by Jesus is to be passed on and never held on to. I want to thank all those who contribute to this devotional page. God's word is blessing your life and because you take the time to share it on this site it is also blessing the lives of others and making them rich as well. I praise you for your commitment to being involved in the Words of Christ. My question is what would our lives be like if we never heard the words of Jesus?
