2 Thessalonians 1:9b-12 ~ because you believed Our testimony to you




2 Thessalonians 1:9b-12



The presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed.

This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. 11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.

12 We pray this 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.





And we are on the cusp of a New Year. Few of us will not wonder what the New Year holds.


There is One who has Plans. God. And not one of us who is not part of the Plans of God. There is One of us who knows of this year and will, obviously, have all of His Plans come to fruition.



New Years. New plans.
A realistic plan for winning. A realistic plan for overcoming. The Scriptures have an entire book on Wisdom.  With 31 Chapters. Skiers have plans to get down the mountain for the thrill and there is a plan to get back to the top of the mountain.



Going with the winter weather -  then  - we will call this - the Bear Hunt of Life - and need - very much - His Help. And our gratitude for His help. We will need to do our words, our deeds with Love. Which is great. Valentines is next. Everything with Love. Wonderful.. Particularly in theory.

However, in Real Bear Hunts - there is frozen tundra, hunters, starvation, isolation and deep napping. Over abundance. Under abundance. We know alligators and the old problems with swamps. Therefore with bears, we'd have to say - berries and rifles. Cows and ranchers. Salmon and other bears. And given any particular day with grumpy bears, berries and rifles, cows and ranchers, caves with other bears and bears with territories - we might find being a bear leaves us feeling we are not as smart as the average bear. We might suddenly come to the realization - even if we have all the berries with no rifles. No cows and no ranchers. All the salmon we'd ever want, on a day where the sunshine never ends. A happy cave we love every day - we might come to realize - it's all clanging gong without Love.

What will we do the day we feel without the fuel of Love? Too much buckshot. On the days we just feel chilly? With mankind, as in Human Employment, we could feel fear of burn out. Or we could sit and have fear our goodness has fled and God Himself has no need for us.

New beginnings can be enormously appealing - and then - have the threat of burn out.

Jeremiah 17:5
Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord."

Now that is ominous to me and, probably, to all who have that day / we grit our teeth all day.

With the deep and abiding Love God has - we can take the days where  the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad and trust the Lord God even in emptiness. We can call to Abba and say, "Sorry. Empty. All Empty. Sorry."



Romans 12:2
Testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

The Testing - might have test taking anxiety. We have failed what is good and acceptable and perfect - in the eyes of man and of God Himself.

When we are outside the will of God, we can sit and tell the Lord Father God. We can present our failings. And in this honest conversation with God - find He has not left us. He is not sitting comfortably to pull the go to hell lever. The Creator of All Things.

The Will of God?

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.


Can we leap all the hurdles and say God loves the world - hurray - on these bear eat bear days?


Hebrews 1:3
Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature,
and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.



That is Good News. We need purification for sins when we say hurray - save the world - what about me?

And this is exactly - what we need with Father God. Approaching Him - as if He - is always - approachable. Jesus does this for us - personally. Jesus frequently let the world wait. Jesus had the multitudes of thousands - all of Capernaum - immediately followed Jesus. Jesus frequently told the world to wait. Jesus took the deaf man privately.

Matthew 7
32 And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him. 33 And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue. 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.

We are deaf when we think Jesus abolished the Law to not bring us the Liberty of His Love. We are deaf to God's Love to not see Jesus brings us His love - personally.

We know Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee 3 times in one day - looking for one person. We can know Jesus would put aside all the earth - and be able - in the Power of the Holy Spirit - to hear me and hear you - personally. Jesus helped Jairus, his wife and daughter and the world waited outside.

And knowing Jesus is the exact nature of God - - -


John 3:16
For God so loved YOU that He gave His one and only Son, that YOU who believes in Him - shall not perish - but have eternal life.



Abba,

You have invited me - personally - to accept all of Your Promises to me. All Your Blessings. I accept with all my heart.

Because Jesus has died for me - has accepted me willing - covered all my sins and weaknesses - You Love me as Your Beloved Child.

And in the Confidence I have in Jesus - I will tell You my heart.


Please convince those I love - how much You Love them. And in all Your Goodness as God - my soul, heart and mind will have the pleasure to see this Love full circle. I trust You.

And carry Your Love forward. I believe Your Love and Light overcomes darkness. I believe when this not clear - You will work all things to the Good of those who Love You.

Jesus the Lord, thank You. Abba, I am Your's in Jesus. Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

The Scriptures are Father God's letter to you. He wanted you to know more, to know He loves you.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
