col 3:16; 2 tim 2:15; john 8:31-32; romans 15:4
What we dwell on, impacts who we are before God and how we work. God's word is instructions and example for us to live by. When we walk in the truths that Jesus put forth we always see it's proved true and can live in freedom, harmony, with thanksgiving to God for all that he's done. Dwelling on the word of Christ is exactly like having a song in your heart that puts a smile on your face and a tear in your eye. God's word brings hope to all who believe and follow what it says.
