“Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.”
2 Corinthians‬ ‭8‬:‭7‬
Also notice just as the church in Corinth were abounding in faith and in love, the same happened with the Thessalonians and the same should happen in your life:
“We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;” 2 Thessalonians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬
It is no surprise that their faith grew exceedingly, after all faith works by love: “…faith which worketh by love.” Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬
If their faith was growing, it means they were focused on what was most needful- the word- and so it is no surprise that every other thing was blossoming as long as they were submissive to the word. Spend time flourishing in that which is eternal and most important rather than that which is temporal and unimportant:
“Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭13‬ ‭HCSB
