Some don't have faith

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. – 2 Thessalonians 3.1-2

Pray, Paul said, that the word of the would run swiftly and be glorified in His people to deliver us from unreasonable and wicked man.

Because not everyone has faith.

Those are terrible words to read. The mean that because some men don’t have faith our work is never done. That means that as long has some don’t have faith we have work to do and there will not be a deal when all men have faith.

Paul’s request for pray was the it would spread quickly and that His word would be glorified. Even back in Paul’s day he felt like the time was short.

In these uncertain days it may seem like we are bound in many ways. It may seem that our ministries are limited. We must so what we can and then we must pray that the word of God would move swiftly in our world and that it would be glorified in this world.

When Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy he expressed that even though Paul was captive the word of God was not bound. No matter what has happened or what is happening, or what will happen the word of God will not be bound. Our goal is to live it and preach it and pray that it would have free course in the hearts of those who hear it.

As we go through today remember that people all around us need to hear about Jesus and we have the answer.
