Living Steadfastly

Toward a New Creation
Life on God's Terms

Death Becomes Life

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5  The Message

Those Who Are Lazy

3 ^1-3 One more thing, friends: Pray for us. Pray that the Master’s Word will simply take off and race through the country to a groundswell of response, just as it did among you. And pray that we’ll be rescued from these scoundrels who are trying to do us in. I’m finding that not all “believers” are believers. But the Master never lets us down. He’ll stick by you and protect you from evil.

^4-5 Because of the Master, we have great confidence in you. We know you’re doing everything we told you and will continue doing it. May the Master take you by the hand and lead you along the path of God’s love and Christ’s endurance.

For Reflection

We all hear of the power of prayer.  Do we all believe steadfastly in the power of prayer?  Or do we feel somewhat uncomfortable with prayer as an answer to worldly troubles?

The extent to which we trust prayer may indicate the extend to which we have confidence in God.    Believers or not, Christ will not let us down.  Stay tuned and watch the triumph of the Holy Spirit.

Pray

Pray as you have never prayed before.  Share your concerns before God.  Pray for the patience and courage to wait upon the Lord.  Pray for eyes that see the Lord at work.
