            ☀️ A.M. 1 Thessalonians 2:8-13

8 - We were so happy to share with you, not only the message from God, but our own lives as well. That is how dearly loved you’ve become to us! 9 For you remember, brothers and sisters, our labor and toil. How when we proclaimed to you the gospel of God, we worked night and day so we might not be a burden to anyone. 10 And you’re witnesses, and God as well, of how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct among you. 11 For you know how, like a parent with their children, 12 we taught each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, for it’s he who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

     13 We also thank God always, that when you received the message of God from us, you accepted it not as the word and promise of men, but as what it really is! The very word of God {the promise, and message, of God} which is at work in those who believe. 

            🌙 P.M. LUKE 12:49-59

49 - He also said to the crowds, “I came to bring fire upon the earth, and I wish it were already kindled!” {Where?}

     50 “I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it’s finished! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? {Ps.2} No, I tell you, but rather division.

      52 Even in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 There will be father against son, son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

     54 When you see a cloud in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming.’ And so it does. 55 And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be warm,’ and so it is.

     56 Can you not see? You know how to read earth and sky (weather). Why don’t you know how to read the times?

     57 And why do you not judge for yourselves? 58 Instead you go to law. When you go with your accuser - make every effort to be reconciled - lest you be dragged into court, and the judge hand you over to the officer, and the officer put you in jail. 59 I tell you, you won’t get out untiL you pay the last penny you owe.” {Cause and effect.. nicknamed wrath?}

     {There’s righteous division, and foolish division?}
