1 Thess 4:1-12, Psalm 10:12-18, Prov 3:9-10

1 Thess 4:1-12
v.1 - Please God in a living, spirited dance. Abound more & more.
v.11 - Mind your own affairs. Work with your hands.
v.12 - Be self supporting

v.3-5 Control,possess, manage your own body in purity & honor, not sexual vice, lust, immorality.

Psalm 10:12-18 David turns to intercession
PRAISE GOD! v.18 (MSG) "Orphans get parents, the homeless gets homes, the reign of terror is over, the rule of the gang lords is ended"
He's a Father to the fatherless, our shelter, our protection!

1 Cor 10:13 - God will never let you down

Eugene Petersen - "My security comes from whom God is, not from how I feel. Discipleship is a decision to live by what I know about God, not by what I feel about Him, myself, or my neighbours."

Proverbs 3:9,10

Honor the Lord with your own possessions, wealth, everything you own, and with the firstfruits of your increase, give Him your first & your best. Your barns will burst & be filled with plenty, and your vats will brim over, overflowing with new wine.

see Malachi 3:10 - If you honor God in this, He promises to open up heaven & pour out blessings beyond your wildest dreams.

It's great to see your commitment toward leadership calling. What area of leadership are you involved or would like to be involved in the future?
