Final Thessalonians Reflection

Midnight Reflection on Saturday 30th November

1 Thessalonians 5 Reflection


Opening Verses


“Finally, brothers and sisters, pray continually for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be honored [triumphantly celebrated and glorified], just as it was with you; and [pray] that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not everyone has the faith.”


‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭AMP‬‬


Full Chapter:



Reflection:


If a missionary came and stayed with you for a weekend, told you to stay home and await a gift from Amazon would you do it? If a family friend came over and said let’s stay in and camp in the garden for the weekend would you be willing to get out your sleeping bag?


Jesus always challenges me to think about whether or not I would be willing to follow his instruction. He offers Heaven, Hope and Help for everyday life with us here on earth. It’s a difficult concept for us to believe in the unseen parts of what will come to pass, but with Jesus we can trust more deeply the things of heaven than the things of this world. We can trust Jesus.


“May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness and patience of Christ.


‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬ AMP


As we continue to search the world and all humanity for answers we really need to seek no further than Christ. If we can not only trust, but depend on and lean on Jesus we will truly become free. If we can hold our tongues, deny our self pride and seek only the Kingdom of God all these things will be added unto ourselves as well.


Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being that comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life’s circumstances]. The Lord be with you all.”


‭‭2 Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭AMP‬‬


The fear of comparison, self doubt and anxiety must also be denied. To truly trust Jesus we must not hold onto anything else. We must let go of the world and hold only the hand of Jesus in prayer, in life and in all things in Jesus name. Amen


Let us Pray…


Father release us from ourselves, free us to love only you and serve only you. Help us to not fear ourselves or others, but hold only you at the Centre of all things in Jesus name. Amen


“So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.”

‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬
