"Faithful is He who is calling you (to Himself) and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you]. 1 Thessalonians 5:24  The Amplified Bible

The Greek word for hallow is hagiazo which means, 'to make holy. It signifies to make holy, to set apart for God, to sanctify, to make a person or thing  opposite of common.' (From "Vine's Expository Dictionary")

Now read the opening verse again! Does this not cause you to fall on your knees and worship our loving and faithful God?! He is worthy of all honor and praise. It is only by the work of the Cross, by our selfless loving Lord Jesus Christ that this is our portion.

As the writer of Hebrews 10:22-23 tells us (The Amplified Bible): "Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water. So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word."

We know that God's ways are not our ways, His ways are so far above ours, but we are assured that God surrounds us and keeps us. We are His and our spiritual eyes are on Him. Therefore, we can confidently trust Him no matter what things look like to the natural eye.

"Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever." Psalm 125:1-2

Therefore, let us join the Palmist in praise to the Lord for His goodness, "Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart, In the company of the upright and in the assembly. Great are the works of the Lord; They are studied by all who delight in them. Splendid and majestic is His work; And His righteousness endures forever. He has made His wonders to be remembered; The Lord is gracious and compassionate, He has given food to those who fear Him; He will remember His covenant forever. He has made known to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations." Psalm 111:1-6

Hallelujah, He has made us His own!
All honor and glory to You Lord God now and forever. Amen
