Living Your Faith

s - 1 Thessalonians 1:8 Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.
O - Paul is recounting what took place when they first talked with the Thessalonians and how they accepted Jesus. He says that He does not even need to explain or tell others about their faith as they must have been showing it so much that words were not necessary.
A - My faith too should be so strong that no one needs to question or explain who and what I believe in. There is a difference in living your life as a good person and obeying the commandments and in living a radical life for Jesus. I have the power and grace from Him and I not only need to show that I obey His commands but that I can rise above the crowd and live abundantly. When I do this, I need to verbalize how I got here and be bold with the name of Jesus.
P - God, I praise you and worship you for who you are and what you have done for my family and I. Bless our lives and help us to live abundantly. Help me to be bold with your name and be confident in the life that I am living for your glory.
