1 Thessalonians 5:21 NASB "but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good"I thought it was still good! Today's verse speaks to us about examining things, everything, to make sure that it's good! I had kept a bucket of drywall compound and was planning on using it but when I went to examine it, I found that I had left part of the lid open and the compound dried up! It was no longer useful and had to be thrown out! I got to think that if we don't take care of the things we have, we can lose them. The love of a wife, the friendship of a good friend, the blessings that God has allowed us to have, can all be lost if we don't care for them properly. Maybe we need to examine our relationship with God first, then the relationships we have with others and see if we are taking the proper care with them to make sure things are good. If they are good, why not try and make them better, just my thoughts! Let's not have to throw things out due to our lack of care! peace, tom
