Encourage Like a Father

Listen to the Podcast

Here is today's communion meditation.

This month our message is "Walking in God's Best Today."

Yesterday we talked about 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8 which says, "But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children . Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well."

And a few verses later in 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12 says, "For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory."

Notice the balance here. Paul was gentle like a nursing mother cherishing her children while also encouraging, comforting, and challenging like a father. This was how he walked among the people.

In today's communion we are asking God to help us balance being gentle and cherishing like a mother while also encouraging comforting, and challenging like a father. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

In our health and fitness we must stay encouraged and develop the ability to encourage ourselves in the Lord. One of the biggest things I have seen get people off track is discouragement.

I am praying for you.
