Scripture:
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
— Colossians 3:16 (NKJV)
Points:
- God’s Word is meant to live inside us, not just visit.
- Rich dwelling means Scripture shapes how we think, feel, and speak.
- The Word is meant to overflow — into teaching, singing, and encouragement.
- Scripture-centered living creates a grace-filled heart and voice.
- Daily Christian living is Word-filled, not world-filled.
Poem: Words that Stay
Your Word is not just ink and page.
It’s living breath, it shapes my days.
It moves within and speaks with power.
It changes thoughts and calms my fears.
It settles deep where roots can grow.
It doesn’t leave when trials press in.
It sings within the weary soul.
It lifts my voice with truth and song.
It teaches me to love and speak.
It makes the hard days holy ground.
I let it stay, not rush it out.
I read, I pray, I hold it close.
It dwells in me like light through glass.
It colors all I see and say.
It dwells not dry, but full and rich.
It leads my heart to thankfulness.
It tunes my soul to heaven’s voice.
It pours through psalms and honest cries.
It builds a song I did not write.
It fills me up and overflows.
So let me read, receive, and sing.
Let Scripture guide the steps I take.
Let every word find room to live.
Let Christ be loud in thought and deed.
Let Your Word dwell in me today.
Prayer:
Lord, may Your Word dwell in me richly. Teach me, shape me, and fill me with grace. Let my thoughts and words reflect Your truth today. Amen.
