St Augustine

Ps 96; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3,14-17;
Matthew 23:23-26

Take heart

The Thessalonians were confused over the expected return of Christ. Paul sets their minds at rest and further counsels them. “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word”. There are times when I am down in spirit, I simply need to ask for encouragement.
