1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
What of Today’s Verse…
While Paul’s exhortation here is excellent, it is the style of the exhortation we should especially notice. We live in an age where we are constantly pressured to emphasize the novel, new, or improved versions of things. But in our lives as Christians, we need to remind each other of what we are doing right and just simply say, “Hey, you’re doing well, just keep doing what you’re doing!”
Let us Pray:
Faithful Father, thank you for noticing and keeping record of the things I’ve done that are good and pleasing to you. Please help me to keep doing those things that please you, only do them better, that you may be pleased and glorified. In Jesus name. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
The Lord of Love holds in his hand the world, Composed of the changing and the changeless, The manifest and the unmanifested. The separate self, not yet aware of the Lord, Goes after pleasure, only to become Bound more and more. When it sees the Lord, There comes an end to its bondage.
