God’s Truth for Trying Times - 9/28/20

We need God’s truth in trying times. Read the Scripture passage, think about what it is saying, then pray; by yourself or with your household. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly (Col. 3:16).

READ: ‬2 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:11-12‬ ‭

“To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
‭‭(2 Thessalonians‬ ‭1:11-12‬)

CONSIDER: How would someone be glorified in Jesus? It is according to the grace of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, his saving and sustaining grace. The work of grace that God is doing in each believer's heart is significant, nothing can be done of eternal value unless God does it. 

THINK: What does this declare about God? What are God’s people being called to do? What assurance is given? How does the Word of God transform our hearts and lives and relationships?
