Finding comfort during the day

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In this passage from First Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul expresses his impatience and desire to see his spiritual children in Thessalonica, despite his own tribulations. The message is about finding comfort during the journey of waiting and discerning when it is time to wait and when it is time to take action. We must be careful that our desire to see God's hand in our lives does not overshadow our desire to see His blessings edify the lives of others. We should seek the well-being of others and find comfort in the truth that when we seek the well-being of others, God will take care of what we need to be in our place as well. As we approach Christmas Day, we should reflect on how we can be conduits of God's blessings to those around us.

The prayer asks for guidance and protection during the busy holiday season, and for the ability to find time to pray and help others. The speaker asks for a peaceful rest and renewal of energy, and for inspiration to live in accordance with God's principles. The prayer is given in the name of Jesus.

Last Wednesday I started this short series that I titled 'The Journey to the Manger'. And today I came across this passage in First Thessalonians chapter 2 and the topic that I would like to share today is finding comfort during the journey. One of the things that I began to reflect on in this time in which we are entering, is that patience is one of those most forgotten virtues in this time that we have to live.

As we approach Christmas Day it may be a good reminder to us that this ability to wait must be the dominant stance in each of us as believers, that ability to wait must be something that defines us. .
