The Life Aint Easy
1 Thessalonians 1
By Luke Sanders
Today’s scripture starts with a little encouragement from the apostle Paul. He tells the people of Thessalonica that they are thanking God for them, can you imagine having the apostle Paul tell you that he is thanking God for you because of your faithfulness?!?! What an honor! This chapter is essentially Paul encouraging the Thessalonians how he has heard of how strong their faith is and that they are an example to all people. This truly speaks to my heart because this should be something that we seek; to have recognition from the Lord for our faithfulness to Him and nothing else. The section that I want to focus on today is 1 Thessalonians 1:5-7,
