Reflections on some verses in 1 Thessalonians 5
Our women's Bible study is memorizing four verses from 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18, 24.  This is how I have broken them out:

Rejoice always; in God's character, not personal circumstances.

Pray without ceasing; in doing so you enter into Christ's current occupation as revealed in Hebrews 7:25 "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."

In everything gives thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus; what God wills, He enables.

Faithful is He who calls you, and He will also bring it to pass; reminds me of Philippians 1:6 "For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ" as well as Philippians 2:12-13 "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but not much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."
