Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1: [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.<\/p>\n
Observation: Obviously I didn\u2019t go to the church of the Thessalonians, because that doesn\u2019t describe me. Sometimes a work out of guilt, labor for recognition and I have a difficult time enduring. I do want to be the servant that pleases His master, but I\u2019m so caught up in myself instead of God and others.<\/p>\n
Application: I need to strive to do more work knowing that God will bless what honors Him and give me success. When I labor I need to labor out of love for my Father and for others so that it honors Him. I need to endure this race I\u2019m in so that I finish well and remember I\u2019m not running alone, but with Jesus by my side.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Father increase my faith that I will work for you with all my heart and that my labor will be out of love for you and others. Stay by my side has I continue to run this race until You tell me it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
