Ephesians 5:19 - speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord. Ephesians 5:19 - Many times when we get together for Christian fellowship we talk about church and different ministries. We keep one another up to date on the lives of others. But the kind of Christian fellowship that there doesn't seem to be enough of is when we quote scripture to one another or sing a hymn, or just start talking about how great our God is. I love it when my brother and sisters in Christ test me bible quotes or a verse from a Christian song or just mention one of the wonderful attributes of our God. I love to hear what others have to say but even more, I love to hear what God has to say and when He says it through the body of Christ it makes me more aware that I belong to the family of God. -- "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them." (Act 16:25) - When we talk about Jesus using His Words we never know who else may be listening and how it may change their lives forever. Father in Heaven, I want the message of Christ to flow through me. "Let the message of Christ dwell among me richly as You teach and admonish others through me with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit." (Colossians 3:16)

This implies that we should always be in a good mood. When I get down I remember that things here are temporary. Pure joy will reign when we are with our Lord in Heaven !!
