S: 1 Thessalonians 1:3 We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
O: Paul was saying that work, labor and endurance are only the result of a faith, belief, hope in, trusting, and relying on Jesus. We cannot "pull up our own boot straps" and try harder. It is only through Christ alone that we can have these traits or qualities.
A/P: Jesus, we pray today that our work, labor and endurance be produced by our faith and hope in you alone. You are the fuel for our life. May you fill us today with your Holy Spirit. Empower us to live for you.
