Today's Scripture | 1 Thessalonians 1:3
We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
God's Word encourages us to have an active faith, and by doing so we shut the door to laziness, procrastination, and passivity. You are more powerful than you may realize. God has given you a free will, and that means you can decide to act on, think, and speak what is right, and nothing can stop you.
It takes time to train yourself to think, speak, and act positively, and you may not succeed every day. If you realize you have failed, don't waste time being discouraged; just pick up where you left off and begin again. Be kind to yourself because beating yourself up for every mistake is just the result of another negative thought that needs to be eliminated.
When you decide to act in favor of God's ways, He always joins forces with you for assured victory.
A Prayer for You Today: Father, help me to walk in active faith to overcome any and all failures. In Jesus’ name, amen.
