2 Thessalonians 1 - Nathanael

2 Thess 1:6-7 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

God is just and will repay wrongdoing.  However, we must wait for his timetable.  His judgement will come at his return and we must wait patiently, knowing that God is watching and taking care of us.

Because of this need for patience and the difficulties we face, Paul prays this in verse 11:
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.

1) God make us worthy of his calling
2) God will fulfill every desire we have for goodness
3) God will fulfill every deed prompted by faith

That is a great prayer! It rests in the power, goodness and greatness of God and calls us to pursue God more, to seek goodness and to press forward and act when we feel prompted by faith.

Thank you God for your love and goodness!!
