2 Thessalonians 3:12-14
[12]Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
[13]But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
[14]And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

OUR PRAYER!
Heavenly Father, hear our cries for your instruction and heavenly gifts to prepare us to be compelling examples of your love and compassion. Bring unto us a clear mind and vision to see the seeds of temptations standing before these prisoners of Satan. That we will use your sword of truth to sever all the bindings from them. Give us the strength and knowledge to demonstrate your truth as a light for them to find your path to eternal life and peace. We pray this in your name Yeshua. Amen and Amen.

COMMENTARY!

Those who have received the gospel are to live according to the gospel. Such as could work, and would not, were not to be maintained in idleness. Christianity is not to countenance slothfulness, which would consume what is meant to encourage the industrious and to support the sick and afflicted.

Industry in our callings as men is a duty required by our calling as Christians. But some expected to be maintained in idleness and indulged a curious and conceited temper. They meddled with the concerns of others and did much harm. It is a great error and abuse of religion to make it a cloak for idleness or any other sin. The servant who waits for the coming of his Lord aright must be working as his Lord has commanded.

If we are idle, the devil and a corrupt heart will soon find us somewhat to do. 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 labor 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.

Ephesians 4:28
[28]Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa.
