Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2

In this passage, Paul is asking believers to pray for him as he continued to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and plant church all across the land. One of his obstacles was the people who did not believe in the message of Jesus Christ sacrifice on the cross for everyone's sin. These unbelievers came against Paul and did what they could to shut him down. 

I've stated it before, as children of the living God, we all have been given talents to perform certain tasks for the Lord. Through the wisdom and voice of the Holy Spirit, who resides in each believer, you can hear Him prompting you to do certain things that will show the love of Christ to others. Your works for the Lord will often be met by those skeptical of God and they may speak against you....keep the faith...keep your focus on God and pray through every hindering obstacle that comes your way. God will equip you to face your opponets and overcome their attempts to shut you down or make you feel less worthy. 

"But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one". Verse 3. Nothing is greater than God and His plan to spread the gospel to a world darkened by wickedness and unbelievers. Seek out God's calling for your special ministry, then stick with it! No matter the obstacle or people in your way, God's plan will be completed through your faithful and obedient service. Give it to God and see His works result in a bountiful harvest for His glory. Amen. ‎
