Dwell Richly

Col. 3:15-17

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 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. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."

If the peace of God is ruling in our hearts, then worry and anxiety will not be present. We can have peace because God is the Ruler, He is the King, He is in control. "My sheep hear my voice and they know me and no one can snatch them out of My hand." Jesus has a firm grip on me!

The "word of Christ" is the Bible, and we are to ask God to teach us from it, read it, meditate on it, and then it will "dwell richly".

"Whatever you do"- if it is Beth at home listening to mom, or Anne at college doing her work, or the boys, wherever we are, do ALL for Jesus, to please Him!
