DAY 41: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 - Encouragement to a Right Relationship with God

Paul turns from thinking about relationships with other Christians to a Christian’s relationship with God.

In verses 16-18 Paul lists three things that should be non-stop in our lives - rejoicing, praying and thanksgiving to God. What could lead someone to actually live that way? What would stop you from living that way?

Are you the kind of person who leans more towards automatic skepticism, or automatic acceptance when you hear something taught in church on/on the radio/from a friend etc? What advice do you need to heed more in verses 19-22?

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 QUT Christians
