16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. NASB

The word of Christ is not limited to the gospel, but applies to the entire content of the scriptures.The Bible is said to be the mind of Christ.Christ is said to be the living word. So both the Lord and the words written in the Bible, are synonymous with each other.

The content of the Bible is often called Bible doctrine, to embrace all of its teachings. That teaching is to reside within your hearts, which comes only through a consistent and daily study of the scriptures.

The heart is the pump in the human body which continuously moves the blood through the body, and in similar fashion, the heart of the soul is symbolic of doctrine moving constantly through your soul, coordinating your thoughts, intentions, words and actions.To govern your entire life in other words.

With all wisdom, means the information that is beyond the elementary learning stage, and advances to ones understanding and usefulness of doctrine in ones life.

Teaching is instruction. Psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing refer to the mental attitude within your soul. Certainly folks will sing songs with music and lyrics and such, but often in the ancient world, instruction and the repetition of instruction was taught through the use of songs and memorization.

Remember that they did not have radio or internet or any of our modern printed or writing material, as we have now.

But, as anyone can learn a song or memorize a verse, then the intent here is to help you to understand that the content of the Bible, when it so saturates your soul and thoughts, then becomes music within your mind.

You may not be able to sing a note of music, but within your soul, you can sing praises and thankfulness s, and appreciations, from within your thoughts, with deep feelings and emotions, that spoken words simply cannot express.

In times of stress, in times of prosperity, in times of despair, in times of happiness, in times that vary with the seasons, you will sooner or later, turn your mind heavenward, and thank God for your very existence, even while requesting relief through your ordeal, or in appreciation for some good fortune.

Remember that this is the devils world, and it is His intention, through evil, to make you fail.

And it is Gods intention to make you succeed.

God may allow you to be taken even up to the brink of destruction, but if your soul is saturated with doctrine, then your life will be stabilized, and your future sound.

By committing yourself to a daily study, you are in effect complying with the mandate of study, that all believers are given, whether you are alone in your studies or with others.

Therefore, study, learn, comply, and grow, while residing in the fellowship sphere, and your heart will begin to pump His views throughout your soul, and the music in your soul will be one of truth.

And that type of music, no one can duplicate with any voice or instrument, anywhere in this world. It belongs to the soul and is heard only there.In order to hear it, you have to advance in your spiritual life.And only then will you experience some of the hidden secrets of truth.

Now is the time to post a prayer.
