“eternal encouragement” [II Thessalonians 2:16(NIV)]
October 30
“eternal encouragement”. When interest wanes or monotony sets in it is encouragement we need. Encouragement is an essential ingredient of life and service. Here Paul reminds us that Jesus who loved us and died to redeem us gives us eternal encouragement.
Fix your mind upon Him and you will not be discouraged for long. See the dark valley that our Saviour crossed as He prepared to give Himself to be crucified and you will be encouraged to tread your path in life. Draw strength and encouragement from the Lord.
In due season you will reap. The path of the just is as a shining light that grows brighter. The day-star will arise though the night be long. God will give you eternal encouragement and good hope.
