Today’s Reading: Matthew 28; 1 Thessalonians 1; 1 Thessalonians 2; 1 Thessalonians 3
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 3:8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.
Observation: Paul had doubts and great concerns about how the Thessalonian Christians were holding up. He was afraid that they would fall away under persecution and hardship. But he has received word that they are doing well and he is greatly relieved. That is the context for the verse above.
Application: I totally relate to Paul. When those I have the privilege to lead are doing well in their faith, it gives me a great feeling. If you want to bless your pastor, give yourself to God and grow. It will make his day!
Prayer: Lord, thank You for the privilege of leading Your people. Help me to lead well and to follow Paul's example of faithfulness in prayer and character. And help Your people to grow strong in You.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
