Persevere

2 Thessalonians 1

2 Thessalonians 1 4

Christians are called to live a life glorifying to God.  Sometimes, Christians assume that the Christian life is going to be easy.  This idea is very incorrect because 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 clearly speaks of how Paul, Silvanus and Timothy endured hardships during their walk with God.  They endured persecution for the cause of Christ.

Application: Don’t expect the Christian life to be easy, and painless.  God will allow trials and hardships to occur to test our faith and dependence on God.

Esther Heise

In All Circumstances

1 Thessalonians 5

i thess 5 16-18

This is one of my favorite scriptures.  Esther has learned to love her enemies (v 15).

As friends, Esther and I have fallen in love with verse 16, 17 & 18.  We have both learned to pray more and more through the day and to give thanks in everything.

 

Application:

Memorize verse 16, 17 & 18 and use them at least a dozen times a day.  Pray even about the smallest requests and be thankful for everything in every circumstance.
