S. 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 (NIV) 1 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. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
O. Paul prayed for those at Thessalonica. His prayer was, with suffering and persecution in mind, that God would deem them worthy of His calling - that as a result of Paul’s prayer, they would actually become as God had called them. He also prayed that they would bear fruit from their desires and deeds that were prompted (or as a result) of their faith.
Paul wanted believers to become more and more like the Lord and that everything they did in faith would bear fruit.
A. What a great prayer - that we all might actually become the people God has called us to be. That our lives would reflect our calling and that everything we plan and do in faith, will bear fruit. That we will truly live in balance with the Lord.
P. Thank your Father for today’s word. Lord Jesus continue to work in my life, that how I live matches your call for me and that in all I plan and do by faith, I will bear fruit. In Jesus’ name I ask and pray. Amen.
