There is a tension involved in trying to accept pain that God allows while at the same time fighting to overcome it. Like the brothers and sisters in Thessalonica, we can find real help in our struggles when we learn to see pain from God's perspective.

We all encounter trials of various kinds. No matter what struggles we may face in this life, we can trust God will always keep His promise to bring good for us through the testing of our faith.

Is Jesus the delight of your heart? Does following Him bring you great joy and satisfaction or are you weighed down with the worries of life? Take His invitation to come to Him and find rest.

The believers of the church of Thessalonica serve as examples to us of those who genuinely grew in God's Word, stayed engaged in the battle and created an atmosphere of strong fellowship. This is what God wants for His church today.

As followers of Christ, we are to live our lives in a manner worthy of the God who has called us not only into His kingdom but also into community with one another. We are to be the presence of Christ, here and now, in this time and in this place.

The church of Thessalonica had strong faith, active love and abiding hope. These are the essentials God desires that we have and what the people in our lives need from us.

Today matters more than any other day because it is a gift from God. We can choose to live it for Him or squander it living for ourselves.

What has Jesus placed in your hand? Jesus can make a little go along way, if we are willing to place in His hands what we have, no matter how little it my seem to us.

Many people can start off well, work hard towards a goal and wind up discouraged and give up along the way. Are you at a place in your life where you feel stuck? Have you hit roadblocks of unfulfilled promises? Have you lost your courage to move on? Caleb serves as a great example to us of how to have faith and trust in the God who keeps His promise's and one who remained courageous, continued to persevere in the face of overwhelming obstacles and achieved victory.

King Jehoshaphat sought the Lord when he didn't know what to do and the steps he took to achieve victory through prayer, praise and worship. No matter what battle you may be facing you can achieve victory too.
