Thank you St. Paul for the reminder and the blessing

This Sunday's reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 is incredibly short with a lot of dos and don'ts,

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise the words of prophets, but test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from every form of evil.

May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this."

"Test everything" is great advice, but I suspect that it is routinely ignored. Part of this is due to our human brain which responds emotionally fractions of a second before our logic circuits kick in, A large part is also due to out laziness. 

Thank you St. Paul for the reminder and the blessing.
