I Thessalonians 2:17-20 ~ The Coming of Paul

Excerpt:

"It is important to understand this principle. It is one of the key principles, if not the key one for a believer to understand. Hardships come. Persecutions come from Satan. He tries to chase us to the point that we become weary in order that we quit, refuse to go on. But God is sufficient. That is what we are learning. That is what growth is. Growth is learning that God is sufficient. Christ and His grace are sufficient for all needs. No matter what Satan is doing. No matter how bad things get. We have a tendency to look at our lives and look for relief. There are a lot of ministries out there that offer relief from struggles and hardships. 'Live your best life now' and get on board with happiness. And in reality, as Paul told Timothy, all those who live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. It is a promise. But God is sufficient."
