Faithful Friday Faves: 2 Thessalonians

Posted by Lisa Laree to Beer Lahai Roi  

Suffering.  End times.  Deception. Apostasy.  Judgment.  Retribution.

Ouch.

A rather prickly book.

And amid all the warnings to and about those who choose disobedience, we see an injunction to folks who are getting tired of fighting the battles.

But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. - 2 Thess. 3:13 NKJV

There really isn' t any particular promise or reward associated with that instruction; just an acknowledgement that it is a struggle to maintain a believer's perspective and continuity in word and deed.

But sometimes that acknowledgement, "Don't give up...you're doing good," is enough to keep going. 

I know I needed to hear that today.
