Daily Ponderings: Quench Not the Spirit

1 Thessalonians 5:19

Quench not the Spirit.

I should invite the Spirit freely and without resistance or impediment

I can set myself aside and let the Spirit flow through me unimpeded. This will not wash me away and make me less, it will infuse me and make me more.

Daily Ponderings: Be Patient Toward All Men

1 Thessalonians 5:14

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

I should seek peace, which is the essential root of patience.

I can make peace my habit, and patience follows, because it is just peace, repeated.

Patience = the choice of either a small reward in the short-term, or a more valuable reward in the long-term.

Daily Ponderings: We Should Live Together With Him

1 Thessalonians 5:10

Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

I should try to walk closer to His way, and be thankful for His atonement that allows me to try again when I notice myself drifting, without the need to waste time with self-inflicted penance.

I can seek His peace 100 times a day without penalty; I am entitled to this by my covenants.

Covenant Keeping

Like marriage, "being His" requires a "do whatever it takes" attitude to make it work.

This includes doing unpleasant, uncomfortable, and inconvenient things, while counting them all blessings; knowing that there are pleasant, comfortable, and convenient things that will outweigh them.

What Is God's Love Language?

I'm guessing:

Words of afffirmation
Acts of service
Quality time

Daily Ponderings: Unto Holiness

1 Thessalonians 4:7

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

I can start with His peace, and then go purposefully where I need to go.
