Today’s thoughts by Julie Wicker

This week I will continue sharing thoughts about Paul from the Bible. Take some time today to meditate on the scripture verses for the week.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭2 ‭NIV‬‬ — As for other matters, 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. For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 

‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬, ‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.
