“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts,” Colossians 3:16 (NIV)
Commentary: The Book of Psalms exhorts believers to “Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs,” Psalm 100:2 (NIV). By singing to the Lord from our hearts, we are constantly reconnecting with the power of God that works wonders in the Universe.
We can vividly remember how the people of Israel, through praising God, won several battles against their enemies, particularly defeating three powerful enemies from Ammon, Moab, and Moun Seir without using any physical weapons of war! (2 Chronicles 20:22).
Paul and Silas invoked God’s power by merely praying and singing songs and hymns when they were incarcerated. According to the Scriptures in Acts 16:25-34, the Holy Spirit came down and their chains and shackles were broken.
Prayers: May the Spirit of the Lord fill us with merriment and God’s praises that can spark God’s blessings and deliverance in our lives.
