He who calls you is to be trusted.
December 1, 2022
Isaiah 2:12-22 | 1 Thessalonians 3:1-13 | Luke 20:27-40
I was assigned 1 Thessalonians chapter 3, but this is a short epistle so I read the entire letter and found treasures in chapter 5. Paul is closing his letter with the following words of gentle instruction: And we would urge you, brothers, to admonish the careless, encourage the faint-hearted, support the weak, and to be very patient with them all.
The words of instruction spoke to me. This is a lot to live up to, and that is discouraging. I can’t live up to it in my own strength.
But comfort came in the words of blessing that follow: He who calls you is to be trusted; He will do it.
Thanks be to God.
