The Lord is Faithful

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. - 2 Thessalonians 3v3

I fear that today’s thoughts are not going to be of great theological depth and that is nothing profound or anything we don’t already know.

It is simply this – ‘The Lord is faithful. He will be your foundation and He will guard you from Satan’s attacks.’ (a rough parrowphrase)

Isn’t this all we need to know when things get tough? Isn’t this all we need when people or circumstances let us down? Isn’t this all we need when we are tempted to discouragement and despair?

The Lord is faithful, every single day and in every situation. When all else fails, the Lord is faithful.

We need to get over this idea that Christians in this world can expect to be prosperous, successful, and accepted. We need to realise that we re going to be seen as the ‘bad guys’ and the opposition is only going to get worse.

When that happens – remember, ‘The Lord is faithful.’
