“Preach To Yourself”

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart.” (Col 3:15-16)

The incoming text from my bestie set me straight. I always say, “Tell yourself the Truth.” She reminded me. Know the truth, believe it, trust it, declare it, walk in it! Oh how I needed this. It’s the complete recipe. It keeps us clothed in confidence. It keeps the peace of Christ ruling in our hearts and minds, with ultimate power and authority. Consider the details….

Let the spoken word of Christ permeate every aspect of your being. Let it have its home in you. Let thankfulness dwell richly. Admonish and sing songs to one another. And to yourself. Bring constant praise. Then the peace of Christ will rule steady in your hearts and minds. The inner calm will remain solid. (personal paraphrase‬, Col ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭16)

What do you need to preach to yourself? What song do you need to let loose? Let it fly!

Preach to yourself. Daily. Every day. All day. Stick with others who will remind you. Unleash His unfailing Word into the air and walk it out. This is our exodus. Our daily deliverance.
