BE THANKFUL FOR THE WORD OF CHRIST–
“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.”-{Col 3:16}
- The Word of Christ can “save you”- Col 1:6
- The Word of Christ; will “free you up”-John 8:32
- The Word of Christ will “Build you up”-Acts 20:23
- The Word of Christ will “Wise you up”- Heb 5:13-14
- The Word of Christ will equip you to be sufficient to help others- Col 3:16
- The Word of Christ- “reveals” Jesus Christ “to you”-Luke 24:27, 45
- Give thanks continually for “the Word of Christ” which produces a “song in your heart unto the Lord!” His Word producing Joy, delight, satisfaction!
Based on the above verses, you can turn those thoughts of truth into a prayer of Thanksgiving to God! “Thank You LORD, for Your Word which is able to save, free up, build up, Wise up, equip, reveal Jesus Christ, and produce Joy…Thank You!” In Thanking Him specifically for those aspects of His Word you have not only glorified Him seven times but have done the “will of God, In Christ.” Which is in everything give thanks!{Read 1 Thess 5:116-18}. How we too often make glorifying God so, so, difficult and mystical when His Word reveals how we can practically do so, and one way is the giving Him…Thanks!
