Now may God himself, the God of peace, make you pure, belonging only to him. May your whole self—spirit, soul, and body—be kept safe and without fault when our Lord Jesus Christ comes. You can trust the One who calls you to do that for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
The message at the present is KEEP SAFE!!
Well Paul today reminds us that it God is interested in not only doing just that but also looking after our spirt and soul. Paul wants to be safein all ares of our lives and for that to be affected Paul uses one word Trust. You can trust the One who calls you to do that for you. As a child one of my favourite songs had as chorus that goes….. “Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to Trust and obey.” Paul today reminds us that it God is interested in not only doing just that but also looking after our spirt and soulWell Paul today reminds us that it God is interested in not only doing just that but also looking after our spirt and soul.

One of the verses of that hymn fits our present situation, so let me remind you of it.
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
In others words these things will appear but they we will not reside because of where our trust is.
Finally Paul taels us where to go if we are still struggling in his opening words Now may God himself, the God of peace, belonging only to him. Yes God himself, hallelujah he is ours, he is able to give you peace just Trust.
So stay SAFE!!!
