Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2 16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, <\/p>\n
Observation: How can I be discouraged if I have eternal encouragement? Because I\u2019m focused not on the eternal but on this world and all the troubles it brings. My eternal encouragement is that this is not where I belong but have a new eternal home that is not of this world full of love joy and purpose. Jesus is my hope, nothing else, He should be my focus each day<\/p>\n
Application: Wake up each morning and talk to my Lord and ask Him to open my eyes to His eternal hope and encouragement. Be focused on why I\u2019m here and do My Father\u2019s will. Take time each day with my eyes closed and remember I\u2019m going home someday soon.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord I\u2019m yours. Guide me today and each day to my eternal home and fill my heart with the hope only you can give me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
