July 29

Introduction

Paul asks the Thessalonians to pray for him and his companions so that they can spread the message about Jesus and so that they will be kept safe from evil people. Paul reminds them of their obligation to work, and he instructs them to avoid those who are lazy.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

Today’s Key Verse:  2 Thessalonians 3:5

"May the Lord lead you into a greater understanding of God’s love and the endurance that is given by Christ."

Reflect

What does Paul say are the hazards of laziness (verse 11)? Why does he tell the Thessalonians not to “become tired of doing good” (verse 13)? Do you ever feel tired or weary from “doing good”?  If so, how is your strength renewed?

Pray

Lord Jesus, lead me day by day into a greater understanding of your great love for me. Teach me never to tire of doing good. Grant me patience and endurance when trials come my way; I know that you are by my side. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are unemployed and seeking work
