Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one
another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to
the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Col 3:16-17 (NKJ)
What will you be doing this summer? This question is asked often at the end of an academic year. The companion question is then asked at the beginning of the next academic m year: What did you do this summer?
These seemingly irrelevant questions are important for the children of God. How you
respond to such questions will identify you as one who knows that God desires to keep you in His care and guard and protect you from the evil one.
During this time of year, many will be on holiday or vacation. But none that belong to
Christ can afford to be absent from Him and His Word. So continue to: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
Many who are vacationing this summer will want to get away from work and business
obligations. They will leave their computers at the office and put away their cell phones.
They desire to be completely divorced from their daily tasks. While this might be a laudable goal for the overworked business person, it is not an option for the Child of God.
For God reminds: whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him. So dear redeemed enjoy your vacation from
the world but remember whose you are!
In His name I remain,
Pastor Froh
