The Day of the Lord


The day of the Lord:  Nobody knows when the day of the Lord will come.  Therefore, we should live every day the best we can. 

When I was first asked to write a devotion, I had no idea what verse to pick.  I asked one of my best friends what her favorite verse was.  She told me 1 Thessalonians 5:18.  So I looked it up and I could see why she likes it so much.

This verse is like a blue print on how you should live each and every day of your life.  It tells you that you should acknowledge the people who work hard among you and those who care for you.  We all know we are supposed to do this, but how many of us actually do this?  I know I don’t. It also suggests we help people in need.  I try to help everyone who needs it.  However, the majority of the time I can’t.  Either I can’t relate or I just don’t know how.  That is why everyone needs to help.  Everyone is different so we can all help with different problems. 

Another way of saying this is each morning we need to put on faith and love as a breastplate and hope and salvation as a helmet.  Morning, noon and night guard your heart, thoughts, and actions.
