Paul, Timothy and Silas are grateful for the perseverance and faith shown by the Thessalonians especially since they were suffering from no small deal of persecution. They were aware that God's judgement was good and that those who remained true to God will be accepted into His kingdom. Those who caused the believers harm will face God's righteous judgement. This letter goes onto say that God's judgement will occur ones Jesus returns to earth with apparently an army of angels? But those who remained loyal will be glorified in Jesus presence, and Paul prays that the Thessalonians will be among those whom God will award. Paul, Silas and Timothy close the letter by praying for the Church that they will remain faithful and help them to remain in their reliance in Jesus. This way, all them will be filled with God.
Prayer/response:
- stop being a pussy. stop isolating and rationalising. open up to others. trust in God and not in myself
- take greater lengths to isolate myself in prayer more frequently
- thankyou Lord for being patient with a stubborn person such as I
