Established

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

- 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, NKJV

Stand firm in the calling of the Lord knowing you have been established to perform His good works - Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, NKJV). Know that in spite of the trials, tribulations, and hardships, it is the Lord Who has called you and it is He Who has not only established, but also equipped you to go forth in His name - For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified (Romans 8:29-30, NKJV). All that said, God has not left you empty holding onto empty promises, nor has He left you unequipped; rather, He has given His essence in the Holy Spirit [Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God (Romans 8:26-27, NKJV)] and armed you with the power of His Word - For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12, NKJV). Today know that no matter what “it” is that you are going through, God has already established you for the occasion and believe that by His Word, you will overcome any/all obstacles for He is with you - What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things (Romans 8:31-32, NKJV).

BE BLESSED!
