'Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work' (2 Thessalonians 2:17).
The world is in turmoil, men's hearts are failing them for fear, even in the midst of a deadly pandemic, political and religious wars. Some people still do not believe that Jesus exist or that he is coming back soon. But He is! We have to pray earnestly to God the Father and God the Son to comfort and strengthen our hearts. The Thessalonians had many trials which caused them to be overwhelmed, so they needed God's strength to stabilise them and live out their faith in words and deeds that would bring honour to him. As believers, God has given us the power to face our trials with great confidence in Him; to be able to encourage one another by speaking kind words and carrying out good deeds. This is the time when we need to earnestly pray for each other that the Lord will encourage our hearts and establish us in every work and in all we say. Let us take the time to read, learn and digest the Word of God, that we like the Thessalonians, may be comforted and encouraged by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We need to be established in the love of God and seek comfort in the arms of Christ, our solid foundation, that we may never be removed, but stand steadfast and firm in our trials. It is not enough that we believe the truth, but we must also love the truth. The Truth is Jesus Christ, our Lord. Let us learn all we can from the Master Teacher and be stablish in every good word and work.
Have a wonderful day and a bless weekend

It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
