This week we looks to the psalms to train us to rejoice and give thanks. We learn that celebration and joy takes practice just as much as praise or lament.
In the first chapter of this letter, Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy talk about how they must thank God for the growing love and faithfulness of the church in Thessalonica, and how they are confident that when Christ returns, their persecutors will be cleared out, and they will have a clear path to God.
