June 08.00: Light For The day - "Thankfulness"

Thankfulness is the channel through which the
gift of peace can prevade our lives.

-------------
-- Colossians 3:16-17 (RSV)
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
teach and admonish one another in all wisdom,
and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed,
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him."

Although the early Christians had access to the
Old Testament and freely used it, they did not
yet have the New Testament or any other
Christian books to study. Their stories and
teachings about Christ were memorized and
passed on from person to person. Sometimes 
the teachings were set to music, and so music
became an important part of Christian worship
and education.

“And whatever you do, in word or deed,
do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,"
means bringing honor to Christ in every aspect
and activity of daily living. As a Christian,
you represent Christ at all times —
wherever you go and whatever you say.
What impression do people have of Christ when
they see or talk with you? What changes would
you make in your life in order to honor Christ?

-- Life Application Bible

-----------------
-- 1 Corinthian 10:31 (RSV)
"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do,
do all to the glory of God."
