The LORD will direct our patient waiting for Christ!

2Th 3:3  But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
2Th 3:4  And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
2Th 3:5  And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

The LORD IS FAITHFUL.

The LORD will KEEP us from EVIL.

The LORD will DIRECT our hearts INTO the LOVE of GOD.

The LORD will direct our PATIENT waiting for Christ.

The LORD is faithful! It is the LORD'S faithfulness that matters, believing in the LORD'S faithfulness towards us. We need to believe.

Mar 9:23  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Mar 9:24  And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

If we can believe, if we can have faith in the faithfulness of our Lord, trust in HIM- it's not about TRUSTING and having FAITH in ourselves!  Satan wants us to believe we have to do this, that it is our FAITH that saves us but in truth it is CHRIST'S FAITH. It can't be ours because then we would be saving ourselves.

Christ will SAVE us from ourselves!
Christ will HELP our unbelief with HIS belief, His power, His truth!

Christ has the faith to save me, I have nothing that will save me.  I believe I cannot save myself and am in need of being saved.

This is truth, this is FACT, this is undisputable.

When we deny truth and would rather believe a lie, we deny our Savior and cannot be saved.

The LORD is FAITHFUL!
The LORD will DIRECT US, OUR HEARTS into the LOVE OF GOD.
The LORD will direct our PATIENT WAITING for CHRIST.

We must have patience- knowing we have to wait for CHRIST, wait for ETERNAL LIFE in CHRIST. 

We live in a world filled with opposition - blatant, hidden, opposition that will fight against the truth so much so that this will happen--

Mat 24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

If the days of mankind's existence upon this earth in the sinful state it is in, is not cut short NO ONE WOULD BE SAVED! 

So while some strive for world peace, the truth is told to us, any worldwide peace that should appear would only be made on lies. This isn't to say we are to oppose peace, it's to comprehend that without Christ, without sin being wiped out by our Savior there can be NO TRUE peace. Mankind cannot manufacture peace, true peace that is found only IN CHRIST. 

May we be found in TRUTH, may the LORD direct us in all our ways towards HIM and HIS LOVE always!

Amen!
