HEAD
1 Thessalonians 3 is about trials and troubles and overcoming them. Paul had experienced trials when spreading the Gospel in one place, so they sent Timothy to a new place to spread the Gospel and share his faith. Even as believers, we will experience trials and troubles, but when we trust in God, then we have hope. God doesn’t promise that suffering will stop when we put our faith in Him. He gives us the power to learn and grow when we experience hard times.
HEART
In reading this chapter, you can feel encouraged that today when you believe in God, with that comes the power to grow through anything. See how I didn’t say get through anything? God wants us to grow through our trials. Not just get through it. You don’t learn anything from getting through it, but you can grow and flourish through it.
HANDS
Prayer: Lord, I thank You for helping me grow in my faith in You even when I experience my problems. Help me to learn from you in these hard times. Lord, I pray that You will continue to give me the opportunities to grow in my faith. Amen.
