S - 2 Thessalonians 1:11 So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 12 Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
O - Paul is encouraging the people saying that they are doing good and any persecution that they are suffering will dwarf the reward they will have in living with Jesus. They these verses are encouraging them and praying for them to have the will and power from God to live a life worthy of his call; and by doing so their lives will honor God.
A - Am I living a life worthy of his call? Am I being persecuted because of His name? Do others even know that I am a Christian? Does my life prompt others to ask "What does he have that I don't have?" Not all of these questions can I truly answer "yes" to. These are the questions I need to ask myself daily and work to be able to definitely answer a resounding "YES". My God, my fortress and my all, needs to be honored and glorified through my life!
P - Lord God, I stand in awe before you this morning in thanksgiving and praise. You have blessed my life tremendously and have given me wonderful children. Help me to live a life that is worthy of your call and to be a shining light for your glory. Help me to also pass that along to my children and help them to have that will power and to be a shining light for you. Lord I pray in the name of Jesus that I and my whole family have complete health and restoration of our bodies. I also pray that you bless my family and me. I pray this all in Jesus' name.
