Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
— Colossians 3:16

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We sing when we are happy. We sing when we are heartbroken. Today we sing out of gratitude. God is not only worthy of all of our praise, but he is also worthy of all of our thankfulness. The basis of all our songs is Jesus and the good news that he brings true, fulfilling, and genuine life to us. As that message of victorious hope fills us, as that message about Christ fills our hearts, we are tuned to be thankful children, filled with gratitude for our loving God, who is not only God Most High, but also God our Abba Father who is always near!

Video Commentary...

My Prayer...

I am so thankful today, Lord, for all the many blessings you have poured into my life. Your love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness give me hope for the future. Your gift of Jesus gives me life today and promises life tomorrow. The incredible physical blessings you have lavished upon me, as well as the blessings of family and friends, are wonderful. And the greatest of all blessings is the assurance that I will one day see you face to face and share your glorious presence forever. In Jesus' name, I humbly but joyously thank and praise you. Amen.
