December 17 Morning: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly" - Col 3:16

"TEACHING AND ADMONISHING ONE ANOTHER ... WITH GRACE." The word which Jesus preached or the word which His servants wrote, the whole word of God, is the word of Christ. Believer, look at your Bible as the inspired, revealed Word of your best Friend, your loving Saviour, and final Judge. Let it find a sanctified place in your memories, affections, and hearts. Let it keep your house, ruling, feeding, and directing your souls. Let it dwell in you richly, and may you know how to apply the different portions to different persons, under different circumstances. Let it dwell in you richly, that you may be able to plead it in prayer so that God will approve and accept. Let the Word of Christ guide and preserve your judgments; curb, limit, and regulate your desires; raise, confirm, and direct your expectations. Let the same word silence, enlighten, and purify your conscience, to enable you to resist and overcome Satan, to reprove sin, and speak a word in season to the weary. Let the word of Christ have the best room in your souls; let it be your daily meditation, the food for your spirit. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom."

For Meditation:
Lord let Thy wisdom be my guide,
Nor take Thy light from me away;
Still with me let Thy grace abide,
That I from Thee may never stray :
Let Thy word richly in me dwell,
Inspiring me to serve Thee well.
