1 Chronicles 9-10, Proverbs 17:14-28, 1 Thessalonians 1
What God said to me – The world today is in many ways like the society that the believers in Thessalonica lived in. It was ungodly and perverse and hated Christians and what they represented to the point of ever-growing persecution and yet those who became believers actively tried to imitate Me and to walk in holiness. As a result, they became wonderful examples of godly Christians and were effective witnesses because of it. Their focus was to serve Me no matter what as they waited for My Son to return and rescue them from the wrath that was to come. The time of My wrath being poured out is rapidly approaching but so is My rescue of those who are Mine. As you wait anxiously for it you must live like the Thessalonians. Purpose to imitate My holiness in your daily walk so that you are a godly example to others and so you are able to be an effective witness to those who are lost.
