God’s Truth for Trying Times - 7/23/21

 

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: 2 Thessalonians 3:10-13

For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good. [2 Thessalonians 3:10-13 ESV] 

  

CONSIDER: One mark of doing good to others is working to support one's household and sharing with others. This is the model to imitate. We must work so as not to draw attention to ourselves, but bring glory to God.

 

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?
