Enduring through suffering


In 1 Thessalonians  3:1-6, in our reading plan for today, Paul was writing to a group of Christians who were suffering deeply for their faith. He was very concerned that their faith endure through these trials.

What joy to receive the wonderful news that they had indeed endured, and had even grown! His labor had not been in vain. Oh, that we might pray for one another like Paul prayed for these brothers and sisters.
