Dwell Richly
Col 3:16a — Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly….
I’ve been thinking lately about the discipline of memorization. I know I ought to, but I still don’t memorize the Word on a regular basis. I don’t even have a good reason why I’m not currently in the habit – I’m just not.
However, that didn’t stop the Spirit from bringing that passage up to me yesterday as I was washing the car. I was thinking about a brother and some of his struggles, and in prayer asked God how to help him – and the response was this short passage. Like an animated light bulb, the answer just jumped out as the simple, obvious answer. He needs the Word to overcome his flesh. And, so do I.
This summer is shaping up to be one of personal growth, as God is repeatedly calling me away to be with Him in solitary places. Please pray for the development of this discipline in my life.
