DAILY DEVOTION - 15 NOVEMBER 2019

Good morning. Peace be with you all. Rejoice in the Lord always. "Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others." 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NLT. Insight There is more to Christian living than simply loving other Christians. We must be responsible in all areas of life. Some of the Thessalonian Christians had adopted a life of idleness, depending on others for handouts. Some Greeks looked down on manual labor. So Paul told the Thessalonians to work hard and live a quiet life. Challenge You can't be effective in sharing your faith with others if they don't respect you. Whatever you do, do it faithfully and be a positive influence in society. May God bless and protect you all. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
