A Fan for Life
October 15, 2016
I call to you, because you answer me.
Psalm 86:7
Cade Pope, a 12-year-old boy from Oklahoma, mailed out 32 handwritten lettersone to each executive in charge of a National Football League (NFL) team in the US. Cade wrote, My family and I love football. We play fantasy football and watch [the] games every weekend. . . . I am ready to pick an NFL team to cheer on for a lifetime!
Jerry Richardson, owner of the Carolina Panthers football team, responded with a handwritten note of his own. The first line read: We would be honored if our [team] became your team. We would make you proud. Richardson went on to commend some of his players. His letter was not only personal and kindheartedit was the only response that Cade received. Not surprisingly, Cade became a loyal fan of the Carolina Panthers.
In Psalm 86, David spoke about his allegiance to the one true God. He said, When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord (vv. 78). Our devotion to God is born from His character and His care for us. He is the one who answers our prayers, guides us by His Spirit, and saves us through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. He deserves our lifelong loyalty.
Dear God, there is no one like You. Help me to consider Your holiness and let it lead me into deeper devotion to You.
Only God is worthy of our adoration and devotion.
One of the earliest and most fundamental beliefs of Judaism is that there is one supreme God, which is called monotheism. Deuteronomy 6:45 says, Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

Keep Up the Good Work
October 16, 2016
We . . . urge you . . . to do this more and more.
1 Thessalonians 4:1
My son loves to read. If he reads more books than what is required at school, he receives an award certificate. That bit of encouragement motivates him to keep up the good work.
When Paul wrote to the Thessalonians he motivated them not with an award but with words of encouragement. He said, Brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more (1 Thess. 4:1). These Christians were pleasing God through their lives, and Paul encouraged them to continue to live more and more for Him.
Maybe today you and I are giving our best to know and love and please our Father. Lets take Pauls words as an incentive to continue on in our faith.
But lets go one step further. Who might we encourage today with Pauls words? Does someone come to mind who is diligent in following the Lord and seeking to please Him? Write a note or make a phone call and urge this person to keep on in their faith journey with Him. What you say may be just what they need to continue following and serving Jesus.
Dear Lord, thank You for encouraging me through Your Word to keep living for You.
Encourage someone today to keep living for God.
We may get weary (as if on a hamsters running wheel) sticking to sameness over and over again. Yet when what we are doing is worthwhile, its worth doing more and more (1 Thess. 4:1). Not only do we reap rewards (in this life and the coming one), but we also have the opportunity to hear our Lords eventual Well done, good and faithful servant! (Matt. 25:23).

Do We Have To?
October 17, 2016
Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Luke 5:16
Joie started the childrens program with prayer, then sang with the kids. Six-year-old Emmanuel squirmed in his seat when she prayed again after introducing Aaron, the teacher. Then Aaron began and ended his talk with prayer. Emmanuel complained: Thats four prayers! I cant sit still that long!
If you think Emmanuels challenge is difficult, look at 1 Thessalonians 5:17: Pray continually or always be in a spirit of prayer. Even some of us adults can find prayer to be boring. Maybe thats because we dont know what to say or dont understand that prayer is a conversation with our Father.
Back in the seventeenth century, François Fénelon wrote some words about prayer that have helped me: Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads ones heart, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them. He continued, Talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them . . . . If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say.
May we grow in our intimacy with God so that we will want to spend more time with Him.
For further study, read about Jesuss example of prayer in John 17 and Luke 5:16.
Prayer is an intimate conversation with our God.
Paul ends this letter with a frenzy of instructions. In todays verses, one small string of phrases is closely linked and includes a key to their significance: for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus (vv. 1618). We often wonder what Gods will is for us in our circumstances. Phrases like these, though couched in a presentation that seem to minimize their importance, help us to clarify what it is that God desires of us. Do you want to follow Gods will? Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus.
