Paul and Silas take Timothy with them preaching. The churches are strengthened and are increasing. The Lord guides them where they should go and not go. Paul and Silas are put in jail. They prayed and praised God while in chains. The doors opened in the prison and the jailer was about to kill himself because the prisoners would be freed. Paul told him not to. The jailer wanted to know how to be saved. Paul told him to believe in the Lord Jesus and he would be saved.
The Breanans received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if it was true. We need to be like the Breanans and also examine and study the scriptures daily.
Day 2
The Thessalonians became imitators of Paul, Sylvania's and Timothy after receiving the gospel. They turned from idols to God and the word spread from them. Paul was approved by God and entrusted with the gospel to bring it to many, not to please men but to please God. Paul was thankful to hear that the Thessalonians continue to stand firm in their faith. He told them to continue to walk, pleasing God more and more. Told them to continue to have love for their brothers, and aspire to live quietly, mind your own affairs and work with your hands. Do these things so that you will walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.
We will be caught up together to meet the Lord and will always be with Him. We should encourage each other with these words. Be ready for Jesus to come for us. Be at peace among yourselves, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak and be patient with them all. Don't repay evil for evil. Seek to do good to one another. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God.

Day 3
The Lord will come against those who come against his people. Those who do not know the Lord will suffer punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord. I pray that God would make me worthy of His calling and may fulfill every resolve for good work of faith by His power that He is glorified in me and me in Him. Stand firm and hold on to what you have been taught. The Lord will guard you against the evil one. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. Stay away from any brother who is walking in idleness. Work quietly and earn your own living. Do not grow weary in doing good.
Day 4
Paul prays for the Corinthians to not have divisions among themselves but to be united and of the same mind and judgment. Christ is not divided. The word of the cross is folly to those perishing but power to those who are being saved. Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord. We have wisdom from God, "What no eyes have seen, no ears heard, nor the heart of man can imagine, what God has prepared for those who love Him".
Day 5
If you have disputes with your brothers do not take them before an unbelieving judge.
Those who will not receive the kingdom of heaven are the, sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, homosexual, thieves, greedy, drunkards, reviles, and swindlers. Such were some of you. But now we are washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ by the Spirit of God.
All things are lawful but not all things are helpful. Do not be enslaved by anything for you were bought with a price. Christ is our rock. No temptation will overtake you more than you can bear. Jesus will help. Don't just seek your own good but the good of your neighbor. Do all you do for the glory of God.

Day 6
Be imitators of Christ. The head of man is Christ, head of wife is man. God has a perfect plan for us. God is a God of order. There is one body with many members, one is not more important than the other. All members are important. If one suffers we all suffer, if one rejoices we rejoice with them. We must have love for others, without it you are nothing.
Love is patient and kind; does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never ends. Pursue love.

Day 7
God is the Father of mercies. He comforts us in any affliction and we can then share this comfort with others.
We must rely on God and He will deliver. God establishes and anoints us and put His seal on us with the Holy Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. Don't be outwitted by satin. But thanks be to God who in Christ always leads us into triumphal procession and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of Him everywhere. We are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.
Jesus is with us, so don't lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. Don't look to the things that are seen but those that are unseen, for they are eternal.
