#soap # 2 Thessalonians 01 ## Title: We Never Travel Alone ## Scripture: (2 Thessalonians 1:11) “And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,” (NET) ## Observation: When we go to the store to buy groceries, we pick out our items, go pay, then go home. Many think that salvation is like this. We come to church with a need, we receive salvation, then go home. The thought is that “all” we took with us was salvation. This is not how the “with God” life works. We are now “with God” in our lives. We are never alone again. (We were never alone to begin with. However, now we know Him and are aware of His closeness.) God not only sets the path of our lives, but gives us the power to walk in it. He goes with us all along the way. He is our traveling companion. ## Application: Realize you will not encounter anything today alone. God is with you and will give you the strength to do everything He has called you to do. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being with us more than we could ever realize.
