This is Pastor Daniel Stevenson, I'm director of the Southside Life Station and pastor of
New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church of East Toledo, and you're receiving this message
because you opted in to be encouraged.
I'm thinking today of 1st Thessalonians 4, 18.
It says, therefore, comfort one another with these words.
Be comforted and comfort others.
That's kind of the calling of Christians.
Strange when we face all the temptations and the confusion and the difficulties of these
days, but know that these days, filled with challenges, temptations, confusions, trials,
all of these kinds of things will come to an abrupt end and there will be no more unanswered
questions.
There will be no more complications.
There will be simply glory prepared beforehand by the Almighty God for all those from every
tribe and tongue and nation who revere Him and follow Him through His Son Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 4, 17 that comes just before this is talking about how in the end, in a
twinkling of an eye, we'll all be transformed and meet up with Him in the air.
The bottom line is, as Paul was writing this message to the Thessalonians, they were facing
difficulties.
They'd been through the wringer, so to speak, and so have we.
In recent years, we've faced difficulties and trials and I would say temptations, and
we've been through the wringer, but we can look forward to that day in which God will
take care of it all.
He's going to bring it all to completion.
Jesus is going to come again and all those who didn't respect that He was coming again
are going to pay a very dear price.
But for the rest of us who are looking to Jesus, be encouraged.
The end is coming of all these difficulties and blessings for eternity shall follow.

Be encouraged today.
Stand firm in Jesus.
God bless you.
