speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord;
God has given us the gift of words and His intention is that we use these words powerfully for building others up by way of letting them know that God cares, that He provides a way through difficulties, that He is mighty to protect.
Yet, we miss this if we only consider this Scripture to mean we need to be walking around and belting out choruses of amazing grace to every person we meet.
Rather, this gift of words is formed from the foundation of God’ Word: His promises, His disciple, His warnings, His blessings, and His encouragement
And…dare we think that we can muster up this with our own wits and strength, we are reminded -from the last verse, that it is the direct result of being filled with the spirit.
In closing, consider how your words can powerfully impact our nation, where one too many people are bent on crazy.
