Let The Message Of Christ Fill Your LifeGreetings Reader In the clarity of Colossians 3, the Apostle Paul jotted down two lists. The first one describes how we used to live before Christ became part of our lives. · Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, Colossians 3:5,7-9 The second list refers to a life in tune with the message of Christ. · Put on your new nature, and be renewed. Clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults. Forgive anyone who offends you. Clothe yourselves with love. Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. As members of one body live in peace. And always be thankful. Colossians 3:10-15 When Christ’s Word dwells richly within us, it reshapes our attitudes, refocuses our responses, and restores our relationships. Be encouraged as you read today's devotion.

Make Commitments To The Lord And Keep Them Greetings Reader Commitments we make carry a lot of weight. While people often start strong with fresh determination, many promises collapse under pressure, distraction, or self-interest. God, however, expects us to honor any commitment we make. In Psalm 101, David committed to the Lord by using the term "I will" 11 times in the eight verses that make up this chapter. They serve as samples and templates for us as we commit ourselves to God.

Rejoice In The Lord, All You Who Love Him Greetings Reader Many Psalms focus on rejoicing in the Lord, like the one we will look at today. The opening verse of Psalm 97 begins with a powerful declaration. It places the majesty of the Lord on display, and the last verse calls His people to rejoice in Him. This Psalm challenges us to rejoice in the Lord by loving Him and hating evil, by trusting in His protection, and living in His light. God reigns with unmatched power and mercy. Even though...
Shout To The Lord And Sing For Joy! Greetings Reader Psalm 98 is one of those Psalms I love to read because of its uplifting contents. As you read it, you'll want to sing, shout, and offer praises to the Lord. Even on days when nothing seems to go right, if you can get past your heaviness, open your Bible (or app) and read this Psalm, it will help to change your outlook for that day. God wants us to join in with the symphony of His creation each day as we prepare to enter into His presence...
