You recall, brothers and sisters, our toil and drudgery.
Working night and day in order not to burden any of you,
we proclaimed to you the Gospel of God.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:9
The Lord's hand shall guide you, and His right hand hold you fast (Ps 139:10). You received not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is now at work in you who believe (1Thes 2:13).
Jesus said: “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so. Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property." (Mt 24:45-47)
God is faithful, and by Him you were called to fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Cor 1:9). In Him you were enriched in every way, with all discourse and all knowledge, as the testimony to Christ was confirmed among you, so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1:5-7).
Everywhere you go, God is already there. His presence is from where you are now to where you are going (Ps 139:8). He will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1:8). For this reason, give thanks to God unceasingly, and walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into his Kingdom and glory (1Thes 2:12).
Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable (Ps 145:3). Hope in the Lord your God who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them (Ps 146:5-6). The Lord shall reign forever; your God through all generations. Alleluia. (Ps 146:10)
Lord, every day will I bless You; and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Generation after generation praises Your works and proclaims your might. They speak of the splendor of your glorious majesty and tell of Your wondrous works. They discourse of the power of Your terrible deeds and declare Your greatness. They publish the fame of Your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of Your justice. (Psalm 145:2, 4-7)
