“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, 17 comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.” 2 Thessalonians 216-17 (NASB)
Our verse today gives us a wonderful and comforting message in the form of a prayer by the Apostle Paul for the believers meeting together in Thessalonica. It teaches us how our God is involved in our living for Him and so is our Savior Jesus Christ. We are reminded that God the Father and Jesus are involved by giving eternal comfort. Another word for this is encouragement. Do you need encouragement because you are discouraged and challenged by your circumstances? Part of our Christian life is doing good things which God wants us to do and He has promised to help us. He brings the comfort and encouragement when we need it and when we need strength, He strengthens us which is also a means of encouraging us in our daily walk with Him. When we step out to speak a good word or do something worthwhile Jesus encourages us and comforts us by giving us the strength and ability to do it.
