And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost. So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in ### and ###.

1 Thessalonians 1:6-7 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​


The cycle of faithfulness is illustrated in this passage. The Lord is our great example. People of faith model the Lord's character and passion to us. We then live that life of faith as an example to others. In other words, the Gospel is more than words! The Gospel is the good news of Jesus taking root in the life of a person until the fruit it bears is enough of an example of the Lord that someone else sees it and begins to live it, too! The Gospel is both caught and taught!

My Prayer...​


Holy God, thank you for making your character known both in Scripture and in human flesh through Jesus. Through your Holy Spirit, I ask that you form in me the character of Christ so that others may see Jesus in my example and live for him. In the precious name of the Savior Jesus I pray. Amen.

We must and should be an example of holy and pure life before the Lord and others. Holy Spirit Thou art welcome in this place, change us, move us and make us Thine very own.
 
Thank You Lord for every faithful person I have ever met or known that have made a difference in my life in some way especially when I was a teenager. I pray I may help others the very same way in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.
