-Approach with a plan for success in mind: “[1] For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain.”

MESSAGE-LIVING THE READY LIFE

“Contagious Encouragement”

I Thessalonians 4

Am I Suffering by Comparison?
Pray that we are not missing out by NOT comparing ourselves to God.

-Wrath is coming, but so is Jesus…our Deliverer. 

-Nothing on this earth now, and nothing to come, we will not be delivered from. 

-We should look forward to a delivery. A delivery itself implies that something is picked up, carried away, but delivered to another destination. We will all be delivered; it just depends on who your delivery guy is.

[5] For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.

-Jesus is coming. Persecution and trials are inevitable. What are you doing?

         -Do you know Christ as your Savior? (You will not survive this without Him)

         -Are you campaigning for Christ?

         -Is your hope in salvation or politics?

         -Are you lifting one another up?

Luke 2:18–19
[18] And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. [19] But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.

Pondering, according to the Oxford English dictionary… “In the sense most relevant to its scriptural use, ponder means to think or reflect deeply, or to meditate.”

MEDITATE ON THIS
-If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are adopted and are RELATED to the King of Kings, Lord of Lords and are a heir to the throne.
