Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Application
Has anyone ever come at you like a huge storm? Even if they have good intentions what happens? You put up your defenses. You fight back or dig your heels in deep. God never meant for us to beat people over the head with His word. He asked us to admonish one another. He wants us to approach each other with gentle and friendly advice. Yes, we need to warn others of potential danger. However, a light gentle snow beats a blizzard any day!
Prayer
Lord, thank you for being gentle with me. Remind me to deliver some of that gentleness to those around me. ~Amen
