Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and good for everyone else.
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
~I Thessalonians 5:12-24~
Amen.
Happy Palm Sunday!

Blessed Palm Sunday to you and your family. I am missing worship today. I love being in church on Palm Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are all missing our church gatherings today. Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.
DeleteBlessed Palm Sunday!! Beautiful photo and Scripture for today.
ReplyDeleteThis one of my favorite days in the church calendar! And what a good time to be shouting, "Hosanna!"
ReplyDelete"Oh, save!"
Indeed, if there was ever a time to praise and to cry out for salvation - now is the time!
DeleteWhat a perfect scripture to share at this time in our world. In all times, it seems there were scriptures from the prophets that fit in our today's world. Happy Palm Sunday blessings. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the admonishment to honor the workers and to live in peace and patience was especially suitable to our situation in these days. Stay well!
DeleteWhat a lovely reminder, especially to honor the workers. Life is good after all, isn't it? Take good care!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great reminder to not repay wrong with wrong...there seems to be so much going wrong today but we shouldn't follow the path to do bad.
