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

“Vine’s Expository Dictionary” tells us,
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.’

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 Letter to the Hebrews 10:22-23 tells us,
“Let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

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 1251-2 

Therefore, let’s join the Psalmist 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.

The works of His hands are truth and justice,
All His precepts are sure.

They are upheld forever and ever;
The are performed in truth and righteousness.

He sent redemption to His people;
He has ordained His covenant forever;
Holy and awesome is His name.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments;
His praise endures forever.”  Psalm 111

Hallelujah!  We are His! With grateful hearts  we give you all praise, honor and glory Lord God: Father, Christ Jesus, and Holy Spirit now and forever!  Amen
