Last week was youth camp; continue to keep our young people in prayer. Pray that they will truly see God. A relationship with church or a youth group should bring us into a place to see God and have a deep walk and relationship with the true and living God. Camp works because we can remove the objects that take our attention away from walking with and worshiping God. Some of these “things” in the way are not bad; they just get in the way of our time with God. As Paul said in the opening of this book, I pray for all of you. Are you praying for God to do work spiritually in your life and the life of your family? Maybe you just seek the blessings of God or “answers” to prayer which just means, “Give me what I want!” We need to seek God, and what He wants in our life.
Be followers of us. They were followers of Paul? Does that seem odd? After all we should not follow men but God, right? Yes! However, we all need discipleship and therefore we need godly examples to follow. Check out your life and ask yourself; if someone followed me would they be following Christ? Your children need godly examples to follow. Many can teach their children sports, but not to pray. Many will drive hours to play or be entertained on vacation, but will not make time for a summer Bible Studies. We will spend money on video games, and shoes, but never purchase better study Bibles or notes. What do our lives point people to? Let us recommit our lives to be a life that someone can follow and in their walk with me they will glorify God. Turn from idols unto the living God as they did in Thessalonica.
Remember God has delivered us from the wrath to come through the blood of Jesus Christ. God will deliver us from Hell by salvation and from the tribulation period which will begin when God takes us home in the rapture. Are you looking for Christ’ coming?
