Introduction
Paul seeks to encourage the Thessalonians by instructing them on preparing for the Lord’s coming as well as how to live until the day of the Lord’s return.
Today’s Scripture Reading
1 Thessalonians 5:1-28
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus."
Reflect
What does Paul say about preparing for the Lord’s coming (verses 1-11)? What does he say about how to live in the meantime (verses 12-24)? Do you find Paul’s words to be a source of encouragement? Why or why not?
Pray
Dear Lord, help me to be joyful, prayerful, and thankful. Guide my words and deeds this day so that I may bear witness to my faith in you and bring encouragement to others. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in need of encouragement
