Encouragement

1 Thess. 5:1-11

Paul reminds us to be ready for the coming of the Lord because He will come like a thief in the night when He is least expected. But it should be no problem for those who belong to Him since we are not of the night but of the day. Those of the day are sober having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. In addition we are covered in His grace which gives us His strength and endurance for living out each day. Our destiny is not one of wrath, foolishness, or ignorance instead we are saved through Jesus Christ our Lord and have an eternal future and inheritance with the saints in light. So these words are an encouragement to us. We need not fear that the Lord hasn't come yet, He will, and whether we are alive or asleep it makes no difference. We will be together with Him for eternity. Wow!

Father,

Thank You for this encouragement today. Thank You for giving me a destiny with You and Jesus. You have saved and kept me. My heart is full. Thank You.

In Jesus name,

Amen
