God’s Truth for Trying Times - 6/29/21

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. [1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 ESV] 

CONSIDER: We should be eagerly looking forward to the return of Christ, and we should not be surprised in judgment and distruction, but we should be glad and sober as we eagerly anticipate seeing him face-to-face.

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?
