Let the Word...

“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16

As we come back today and you read our verse, what did you think about since yesterday? Paul said to “Set your mind on the things above...” To gain God’s perspective by setting your mind on spiritual realities (things above), you may have decided to let some current activities go. As you think of our text today, let me encourage you to continue to ask God to help you as you sift through those things that fill your mind each day. Remember that reaching God’s greatest potential for you takes an act of your will. It also will be the most rewarding endeavor you will undertake.

Today, decide to become a greater participant in the life Jesus has given you. Here and now. “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:9-11

If you made a list yesterday, or if you didn’t, review what you identified. Revise it as needed. Continue to seek the leadership of the Holy Spirit as you work in this vital development of God’s potential for you.
