| He Will Sanctify
Us "May God
himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul
and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you
is faithful and he will do it." 1
Thessalonians. 5:23, 24

HE will do it! Do what? Verse 23 states
that he will sanctify us through and through: "May God himself, sanctify you through
and through." What a promise from a faithful Father! In Phil. 1:6, Paul states his
confidence in God, that the good work he began in His people, He will bring to completion.
GOD is the one doing the work, bringing to completion the project that He started. The
project is you and me; Paul says in Ephesians that we are God's workmanship. God is
working hard on you and me and as our text states, "He will do it!" It is God
who initiates salvation, who continues it, and who will one day bring it to its ultimate
consummation. On that day, we will stand before our God, perfected and sanctified through
and through, and we will know who did all the work. Let us praise Him today for the work
that God is doing in us. The work He has promised to complete! Thank you, Father, for your
faithfulness!
Father, I praise You that You will do the impossible in my life. You
have promised to keep me blameless until Jesus takes me home. I am so
thankful that it is not something that I need to do, but that You are
doing the work in me. Thank You for sanctifying me through and through
by the blood of Jesus. Keep me until that day when he will take me home.
Amen
