The 1 Thessalonians 5 Life - 12/7/21

The 1 Thessalonians 5 Life

Hey Family, I'll get straight to the point. There are many ways we can lives, and some of us spend more time than we ought to trying narrow down or expand how we should live our lives. After reading through and meditating on 1 Thessalonians 5, I know the life I want to lead and the person that I want to be as a result of it. Seek the Lord and His word daily and He will show the way in which you ought to go. 

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, You knew from before the beginning that we, as humans, would be desperate for direction and purpose in this life and for those who never find either of them it is made quite evident in their conduct and character. Please help me, help Your people, by giving the direction needed to have absolute confidence in resting our hearts and our lives in You. We thank You and praise You in the highest. In Christ Jesus' name we pray, Amen."

Scripture

A Model to Live By

1 Thessalonians 5:12‭-‬24 

"Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else. Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."

Quote of the Day

" We do not forget to eat: we do not forget to take the shop shutters down; we do not forget to be diligent in business; we do not forget to go to our beds to rest, but we often do forget to wrestle with God in prayer, and to spend, as we ought to spend, long periods in consecrated fellowship with our Father and our God."

- Charles Spurgeon
