Tue Devo I Thess. 2:13

I Thess 2:13 -

"And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe."

There are a couple of things that caught my attention. First the word of God Always has to be heard to be effective. That is why we are doing this site. For the past couple of weeks things have become very hectic and sadly it is God's word that has been unheard as you can see with the dates of devo's missing. It is so easy to be so consumed with hearing everyone except God. Taking time for everything except hearing from God. Second, the word has to be accpeted. Just listening or reading this blog does you no good if you don't take the time to accept what God is saying and act on it. Third, It is at work in us if we believe. But if we don't hear how does it work in us? It does not. I want to challenge us all as the summer approaches to not become so consumed on our lives that we don't take the time to listen to the one who gave us our lives in Christ. Take the time to read the devotionals each day and allow them to work in you during the day. I also encourage you to come to our Kairos Devo's on Tuesdays and talk even more about the word of God.
