God Will Sanctify You
Paul has many pleasant memories
of the days he spent with the infant
Thessalonian church. Their Faith,
hope, love and perseverance
in the face of persecution are
exemplary and Paul’s labours
as a spiritual parent to the fledging
church have been richly rewarded.
He encourages the Thessalonians
to excel in their Faith, increase in
their love, and rejoice always even
as God Promises to Sanctify them.
Lord, we Purpose to Do Your Will:
Rejoice always, pray without
ceasing, in everything give thanks;
for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus for you (1 Thess 5:16-18).
Now may the God of peace
Himself Sanctify you completely;
and may your whole spirit, soul
and body be preserved blameless
at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. He who calls you is faithful,
who also will do it (v23-24). Amen.
