UPPING OUR GAME

Today's reading: 1 Thessalonians 4-5

"Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You are doing this already, and we encourage you to do so more and more." 1 Thessalonians 4:1 NLT

Church, let's 'up' our game.

Maybe we are living in the way Christ has asked us to live--we can do more!

We are probably part of the small percentage that does a whole lot of work in our church--we can always do more!

Quite possibly we are giving to the Lord and to those in need--we can do more!

Have our noses in the Word? Couldn't we always do more?

Our prayer time? More?

Reaching out? More?

Sharing the Good News? More--so much more!

This verse reminds me that there is no 'cap' on what we do for the Lord. There is no limit to how much is required, no finish line to reach. Every ounce of effort we put forth for God should instigate a desire to do more, much more.
