DAY 28: 1 Thessalonians 1:5b-10 - Famous Imitation

This passage helps us see what idols are by comparing them to God. In contrast to the living and true God, idols are not living and they are themselves lies. Isaiah 44 shows that an idol is nothing, and yet it is also a dangerous spiritual evil because it steals glory from God (Isa 42:8) and spiritually blinds and degrades the worshipper (Isa 44:18-20, Rom 1:21-25).

Who are you imitating in your Christian life? Why do you imitate them?

The Thessalonians are copycats too. Who are they imitating?

What would it look like for you to imitate the Thessalonians?

1. Thank God for one thing from the passage

2. Ask God for help with one thing you've challenged by from your reading and reflection today

3. Pray for Jared & Verena Bradley
