1 Thessalonians 2:13-16
Reflect
It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. We often imitate those whom we respect, or who we want to be more like. Sometimes we make wise choices in who we want to imitate, other times we do not. Children will more often than not take on the habits, attitudes and mannerisms of parents; this can sometimes show up in the most inopportune moments.
Apply
Paul commends the Thessalonians in how they chose a good role model, in the churches from Judea. Who are you modeling your life after? Who is looking to you as a role model?
