We serve a powerful God! He is so powerful that He can change anyone's life for the better!

"...and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God..." I Thessalonians 1:9b

Paul was acknowledging how the Thessalonians came to Christ.  They who once served idols are now serving the true and living God.  Paul was admiring how they had so followed the apostles and their example that they were turning heads in Macedonia and Achaia.  Their faith was abounding and contagious that people were talking about their faith!

Look at the power of God in this chapter... God using His people to lead others to Christ!  God and His power changed the hearts of these people from their idol worship to Worshipping Him!

Look what the power of God can do through you, Look what the power of God can do for the lost!

Know that God is powerful and is in the business of changing lives on a daily basis.  How is He working on you and your life?  How is He working through you to reach others for His glory?
