God Helps us to Walk Worthily
Paul has many pleasant memories
of the infant Thessalonian church.
Their Faith, love and perseverance
in persecution are exemplary and
Paul’s labours as a spiritual parent
to the church have been rewarded.
He encourages the Thessalonians
to excel in their Faith, increase in
their love, and rejoice always as
they await the return of the Lord.
Lord, we will Walk Worthy of You:
We have been… entrusted with
the gospel, even as we speak, Not
Pleasing men, but God (1 Ths 2:4).
We exhort and… charge every of you
(to) Live your lives in a way that
God would consider Worthy (v11-12)
We never stop thanking God that
when you received His message
fr us, you didn’t think of our words
as mere human ideas. You accepted
what we said as the very word
of God… And this word continues
to work in you who believe (v13).
Lord, thanks for entrusting gospel
and good works for each one of us.
Lead me to people who will clarify
and confirm Your ministry for me.
Fulfil Your purpose for me even
as I purpose to Please You God.
Grant me serenity to accept the
things I cannot change, courage to
change the things I can & wisdom
to know the difference. Amen.
Lord, You are my master and fully
deserving to be my first & foremost.
Forgive me Lord for sometimes
treating You as a minor player in
my life, as an auxiliary counsellor
when I need help solve problems.
Help me Lord to seek Your will,
put You God first and live in such a
way that You consider worthy and
bring honour to Your name, Amen.
Lord, help me to be careful from
becoming judgmental in opinions.
Help me from being conceited
in ministry as if my words have
the power to bring about growth;
for it’s Your Word that is needed.
Speak through me with Your Word,
which has the power to bring
about real and lasting change.
Shine Jesus Shine. Send forth
Yr Word Lord & let there be light. Amen.
