To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith, — 2 Thess 1:11 BSB

Our God is looking for pattern men and women today. When He finds a true example, He can easily reproduce it in countless lives and multiply it without limit.

All the experiences of life come as tests, and as we pass through them, our loving Father watches with intense and jealous love to see us overcome. If we fail, He is deeply disappointed, and our enemy rejoices.

We are constantly being observed by angels and spiritual authorities, and every step we take is critical for something in our eternal future.

When Abraham went up to Mount Moriah that morning, it was a time of solemn testing. But when he returned, he was one of God’s proven men, carrying the stamp of Divine approval. God could say, "I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they will keep the way of the Lord."

God is looking for such people today. Lord, help me to be one of them.
