1 Thessalonians Chapter 1
I'm going to start reading through 1 Thessalonians in my devotional time.
The verse that stuck out to me (actually every time i read this chapter; tomorrow I'll focus on another verse) is verse 3: "We continually 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."
What work is produced by faith? What about things done outside my role as a minister. How can faith shape my role as a father? a husband?
I think I let fear rule most of my life. I want faith to rule. Today I want faith to be my default setting. Worry and fear have had far too much influence. I need to turn over the conflicts at church to the Lord. It's his church anyway. I need to let go of fear of the coming months, and embrace the opportunities of today.
