August 13
Introduction
Paul expresses his desire to visit the Thessalonians again, and he sends Timothy to Thessalonica to encourage the believers to remain strong in their faith.
Scripture Reading
1 Thessalonians 2:17—3:13
Today’s Key Verse: 1 Thessalonians 3:8b
Stand firm in your life in union with the Lord.
Reflect
Today's reading includes another reference to Christ's return (2:19 and 3:13; see also 1:10). What are your thoughts as to why Paul speaks of this? What was Paul's reason for sending Timothy to the Thessalonians (3:2-5)? What was Timothy's report to Paul (3:6)? Verses 3:11-13 read like a prayer. What does Paul say? Do you find his words a source of encouragement? why or why not?
Pray
Holy God, help me to keep growing stronger in faith and in my love for others. And help me to be a source of encouragement to others in their faith journeys. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Thessalonians 4:1-18: The apostle Paul writes about the Lord's return.
