I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

1 Thessalonians 5. “You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing” (Verses 5-11). When the world gets discouraging, and it feels as though the day has become a long, never ending night. Let us encourage each other with this knowledge. Christ has conquered our darkness. Therefore we can live as children of the light, children of the day. Our darkness has been consumed, we can live in the light. Be encouraged today, and encourage others.
