It took me about 15 minutes to read this letter. Paul briefly addresses a few topics to warn and encourage the young believers in Thessaloniki. The topic he addresses first is for that issue which must have been foremost on the mind of Paul; enduring injustice. What are we to do as we face unjust treatment in this life? The answer goes against our "better senses." But that is one of the greatest expressions of faith. When we depend upon God to provide for all of our needs we've got to recognize that needed justice is also in God's hand. That is the point that God makes in chapter 1 verses 5-10. That is the lesson that we need to live out in every area of our life.
