Each week we see Scripture encouraging us to walk in a manner of joyful waiting. As I read passages regarding our Certain Hope – once again I see Paul assuring the Thessalonian believers of their inheritance in our Lord Jesus Christ. Listen: We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3
Such powerful encouragement is meant to bring joy and peace to the believer's life. (You may want to read verses 4-5 for more joyful encouragement.)
Help us Lord to walk with assurance and Hope in this needy world. May we share Hope with those who are walking in hopelessness. Amen.
