Hello everyone !

I hope you all are doing well and that you all keep your faith strong. Spiritual warfare is a test of faith that seems to be everywhere you go.

As my husband and I were studying the word today, he picked out 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, verses 1 to 11. And it is encouraging to read. The tests of faith that believers endured back in bible days are the same tests of faith believers have now.

The day of the LORD! Is the title header in my Bible to describe 5:1-11.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-11King James Version

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

³ For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

⁵ Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁹ For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

¹¹ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

When you see what the apostle Paul wrote, you can understand his concerns. These apostles were ordinary men who have sinned like the rest of us. But came to faith through CHRIST JESUS 🙏🏾.

And through all they went through in life, they were saved through the guidance and teaching of JESUS.

I am sharing this with you this scripture to encourage you as well too. We all need it. So please pass this on to others to encourage all brothers and sisters as the apostle Paul did.

Peace and blessings ❤️
