2Th 2:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : Paul prays that God would comfort their hearts, and establish them in every good word and work (2 Thessalonians 2:17 ). He asks for more comfort and strength for the believers. Paul joins comfort and strength together because when we are encouraged by God, we are more likely to keep living for Him. If we are firm in our faith and actions, we will also find more joy and peace. Doubt and weakness can make us unhappy, but being steady in our relationship with God brings comfort. Paul encourages us to be faithful in both our words and actions, as this honors Christ and leads to lasting comfort and strength until we reach complete holiness and happiness.
