Today’s Thought “Checking My Attitude” G. Ward



2 Thessalonians 1:3-4 ^“We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater; therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure.”



Perseverance is a questionable component in life that’s obscured by the day presented along with its many tasks. It presumably identifies Holy God allowing another day as a follower of His will as synonymous with reaching the mountain’s peak (Phil.1:6) and the furtherance therein criticizes any seemingly falling short in recognizing His omnipotence (*cf. Ro.3:10).

However, when the temple (1 Cor.6:19-20) He constructed seeks HIM wholly/holy (1 Pe.1:16), my pompous thoughts of what I deserve (cf. 2 Thess.1:9-11) become vivid and I thank HIM for mercy.
