I Thessalonians 1:4 “For you know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction….” You and I are incapable of truly realizing the benefits of the Almighty God loving us. Given all of our disobedience, it is amazing that God even desires to have anything to do with us. For you and me to daily be blessed because of His love is something which motivates each of us to act as most appreciative adopted children of His. Doing good works is the least we should do as our Thank You to our Savior.

I Thessalonians 1:3 “We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” Three qualities of every conscientious Christian are faith, love and hope. These qualities are evident in a Christian’s life by his/her actions (works), efforts to help others (labor) and a never give up (endurance) mentality and effort. Would those who know you say you possess the above and could state why you possess this lifestyle? Is faith, love and hope what is evident as your/my motivation?

Ephesians 1:2 “We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.” One of the most dangerous activities a person prone to any addiction is to isolate. To lack the companionship of others causes anyone to dwell on all the negatives life offers. If one wants to do well there must be a relationship with others who desire to serve their Heavenly Father and help others to enjoy the success our God blesses us with. If we do find ourselves alone at times, the MOST valuable activity any of can do is talk with our Savior.

Colossians 4:5 “Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.” Never stop praying for wisdom. Never act any other way than exposing the truths of grace. Never be anything other than humble. Always know you represent your Savior. Always be thankful for the blessings you enjoy daily. Always read, study and apply the absolute truths of the Bible for therein we all find both temporal and eternal life.

Colossians 4:2 “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” There is no greater love than the love God has for each of us. We all cherish His concern for each of us. You and I never want to feel we are not loved by others, but above all we never want to feel we are not loved by our Almighty God. Wouldn’t that love then create a natural desire to communicate (pray) with our God. Besides telling others about Him, there is nothing more valuable we can do than converse with Him all day, every day. Enjoy that privilege. (My computer was in for repair last week-that’s why no devotions)
