July 22
Introduction
Paul begins his letter to the Thessalonians with words of greeting, and he thanks them for becoming examples of faithfulness and love to all the followers throughout Greece. He wrote this letter to encourage and reassure the Christians there.
Today’s Scripture Reading
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Thessalonians 1:4
"Our friends, we know that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own."
Reflect
Thessalonica was the capital of the Roman province of Macedonia in northern Greece. Paul had established a church there after he left Philippi (Acts 17:1-4). Many of the people had worshiped idols before becoming Christians (verse 9), and Paul commends them for becoming an example to other believers (verse 7). What does Paul say about them? In what ways is your faith an example to others?
Pray
Lord God, help me to put my faith into practice, and guide my thoughts, words, and actions this day. Teach me to be an example to others as I serve in your name. Amen.
Prayer Concern
New converts to Christianity
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Thessalonians 2:1-16: Paul describes his work in Thessalonica.
