Scripture:
“With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15 NLT
Observation:
Paul encourages the Thessalonians to stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching they had received from him in person and by letter. He starts this verse with the words, “with all these things in mind.” All these things, in the context, refers to the rise of the antichrist and the events of the last days. While they were going through persecutions, etc., Paul told them to stand firm and hold firmly to his teaching.
Application:
As we live in these last days, we must listen to the words of Paul and remember to stand firm when others are faltering. We must hold onto what we believe with a strong grip. We can’t walk away from the foundations that have been laid for many generations. Now is not the time to give up or give in, but to remain strong in what we believe. As the day of Christ return comes closer, we must be prepared to endure some things, but we must be strong.
Prayer:
Father, empower me to stand firm and not give up on You or Your ways. Help me to keep a strong grip on You word as the world gets darker and darker. Walk with m Holy Spirit and lead my life. Show me the way forward each day. Help me to do exactly what You want each and every day.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
