S ~ Night and day we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your faith. 1 Thessalonians 3:10
O ~ Paul was so concerned about these young believers and the suffering they were experiencing since receiving Christ. Yet he has received good news - Timothy has returned with a glowing report of how their faith remains strong. This encourages Paul, but he still wants to get to Thessalonica to strengthen the believers, knowing that even with their strong faith - there is room for growth.
A ~ Where were the gaps in their faith? Where are the gaps in my faith? I wonder if I can see them, or if I need someone else to point them out, and fill them in? Maybe that is what my role is in the life of our church right now - to help people fill in the gaps of their faith.
P ~ Lord, please help me to encourage and strengthen Your church, and fill in the gaps of what is missing. It will be different for each person, but may there be continual growth for us all. And please bring people into my life (even via audiobooks!) to fill in the gaps of my faith. Amen.
