Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24
16 Be
joyful always, 17pray at all times, 18be thankful in all
circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with
Christ Jesus.
19 Do
not restrain the Holy Spirit; 20do not despise inspired messages. 21Put
all things to the test: keep what is good 22and avoid every kind of
evil.
23 May
the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole
being—spirit, soul, and body—free from every fault at the coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ. 24He who calls you will do it, because he is faithful.
Think
Do not restrain the Holy
Spirit, but practice discernment - keep what is good and avoid every kind of
evil.
Paul encourages the church to
be positively Spirit led, but asks them to always be alert - to test.
Pray
Lord, help me to hear your
Spirit through the scriptures and through my church community. Most of all - give me the wisdom to discern
between what is good and what is evil.
