These verses are a prayer, by Paul’s apostolic team (including Silas and Timothy), to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ – for the Christians in Thessalonica. Paul had longed to meet them in person but had been obstructed by a mob (Acts 17:5-10) and prevented by Satan (1 Thessalonians 2:18). Only the Lord could clear the way. Only He was stronger than violent men and evil demons. Instead of struggling to work out a plan and push it through by himself, Paul prayed and left the matter in God’s hands.

“Word@Work has been a tremendous source of authentic teachings and encouragement in the Christian faith!! Unfortunately, I often cannot make it to my church's Bible study, and so Word@Work has been a great substitute. Not only do the messages come as a devotional but it gives background information for better understanding of the times back then and Word@Work always makes it easy to relate to today's world. ”
