Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Prayer – 1 Thessalonians 2:13 – At Work In You – Growing As Disciples
And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (NIV)
Believe In My Word
What will you do with my word if you truly do believe in it? There is no, “if” about it. I truly and fully do believe in your word. I will receive your word into my life because I do believe in it. What do you believe about my word? I believe that your word is true. I believe that your word is powerful. I believe that your word is valuable. There is nothing more true than your word. There is nothing more powerful than your word. There is nothing more valuable than your word. You will use your word to do your work in my life. You will mold and shape me by your word. You will guard and guide me with your word. You will use your word to change my heart and transform my mind. It is your word that will make me able to think your thoughts and walk in your ways. I can see that you truly and fully do believe in my word.
How will you go about continually receiving my word into your life? I will set aside a daily time and special place to meet with you in your word. I will quiet myself before you. I will listen attentively to everything that you have to say to me. That will be very good. Say more about how you will receive my word into your life. I will read your word. I will study your word. I will meditate on your word. I will memorize your word. I will pray your word. I will teach you word. I will put your word into practice. That will be very good.
Say more about how you will pray my word. I will pray that I will fully receive your word into my heart and mind and life. I will turn the promises of your word into the thoughts of my mind and the prayers of my heart. That will be very good. What about others? How will you pray for others? Those are two very good questions. Why is that? Others prayed for me. Others prayed that I would come to believe and receive your word into my life. Just as others prayed for me, so I will pray for others. I will pray that others will come to know the truth and value and power of your word working in their lives. I will pray that others will quiet themselves before you so that they can hear everything you want to say to them. That will be very good. Keep on believing and receiving my word into your heart and mind and life. Keep on praying for others. Yes Lord, I will.
Lord, it is one thing to say I believe in your word. It is a whole other thing to continually receive your word into my life. Continually receiving your word into my life demonstrates that I really do believe in your word. Use your word to do all your work in my life. Amen
