"The mind of man is a busy thing; if it is not employed in doing good, it will be doing evil. It is an excellent, but rare union, to be active in our own business, yet quiet as to other people's. If any refused to labour with quietness, they were to note him with censure, and to separate from his company, yet they were to seek his good by loving admonitions. The Lords is with you while you are with him. Hold on your way, and hold on to the end. We must never give over, or tire in our work. It will be time enough to rest when we come to heaven." Matthew Henry
Oh, the tragedy of idle hands. Life is short and our time is beyond our ability to calculate. We may not have tomorrow, sometimes life ends abruptly; besides, our context in Thessalonians has been the imminent return of the Lord Jesus. Let Him not find us at the top of a hill looking up but in the trenches looking out to expand His kingdom. Carry on day by day until we hear Him say ‘well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into your rest!’
