2 Thessalonians 1:6-10
God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.  He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.  They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
Verse six says that "God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled." This verse revealed to us that God will seek retribution against the evil one, for He is a God of vengeance. God is the same God in Old and New Testaments, for He has never changed. He is loving, just and His nature never changes. It's like the story of three blind men and an elephant, where each of the blind men's understanding for God was based on their own feeling for it. In the same way, God in the Old Testament gives people the impression of harshness, while God in the New Testament feels more loving and kind. God, however, will revenge against the evil one, and revenge against those who impose hardship on us. We need to, therefore, pray for American, for America is a country that fears God. May God reveal His righteousness, justice and presence in this country and May God also reveal the ploys and attacks from the evil one, so that the world would know God stands with America. The nation must obey Jehovah God, for He is a true and living God and the everlasting king.
 
Brothers and sisters, let us pray that God's righteousness and justice will be revealed. In this world of darkness, may all people become fearful of the true God. Let us witness how the kingdom of light eternally overcomes the kingdom of darkness, and how the authority of light overcomes the authority of darkness. May God's justice prevail!
Pray with Pastor Tong
Lord, I thank you for putting the church of Thessalonica before us as an example. May the Lord help us to grow our faith, have abundant love and persevere through suffering in our daily life, so that you may be greatly satisfied with our lives. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
