1 Thessalonians 2:16, 17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
I came across this word this morning and it immediately jumped out to me. How awesome that we have been given eternal encouragement in the Lord. And from that eternal encouragement, from the One who loves us and is filled with grace toward us, and out of His good hope for us and to us and in us, He Himself will encourage you this day--regardless of what's happening right now in our world or in our lives, regardless of anything. He will encourage us and strengthen us--period. . . . Be encouraged today.
Take just a few more moments in His presence. Listen just a little more closely. Hear His word to you. And rest in it. Let it rest in you. Eternal encouragement. There is always hope in Jesus.
