And so we will always be with the Lord. So then, encourage one another with these words. ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:17b-18 (GNT)
KEY IDEA:
Be encouraged because eventually the Lord will make everything right.PRAYER:
Lord, you fill me with hope. I need to be reminded of what you are doing because I too easily allow myself to be swallowed by the hopelessness of the world around me. Our leaders are pathetic. Greed runs unchecked. Women are abused. People take advantage of the poor. But you are coming to make everything right. That is my moment by moment source of hope. Amen.
