Blessings!
Today’s promise is 1 Thessalonians 5:9 NKJV:
“For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Devotion:
Paul encourages us here to stay sober and vigilant as we await the return of our Savior. It’s not a question of “if” Jesus will come back for us, but “when!” I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait! When He does return, I want Him to find me busy doing what He called me to do. I want to be wide awake, and ready to go! Why? Because, just as Paul says, Jesus is not coming back with a fist full of wrath for me. He’s coming with my reward! What about you? What reward is the Lord bringing for you?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Precious Son! Thank You for giving me a reason to hope, a reason to praise–a reason to live! Help me glorify you with all that I am and all that I have, for it is all from You! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Have a victorious day in the Lord!
