Zoomin' and cruisin'...

II Thessalonians 3 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
I love the way the ESV translates verse 1: "that the word of the Lord may speed ahead..."  What a request. May we not hold God's Word back: may people jump on for the ride and take off.  God is faithful: to work in our lives and protect us. He Who began the good work, through His Word, will complete it.  He can and will keep us cruisin' in the faith, if we will sit down, trust Him, let Him do the driving, and stay the course.
