A Brief Word Today

Scripture – 1 Thessalonians 4:1-2: ¹Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. ²For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

Reflection: There are some personal things going on today that I’m not going to talk about here. As a result, it’s hard for me to focus on this passage.

Just give some thought to the instructions you have on how to live. We all pretty much know right from wrong. Generally, we know what we should or shouldn’t do. The instruction here is that we commit ourselves to growing and living in the way that pleases God.

Lord Jesus, thank you for your instructions. Thank you for your interaction in our lives. Empower us all today with your grace and strength. Thank you.
