Psalm 32 pronounces blessed the one whose sins are forgiven, who finds refuge in God. Paul prays that God will make the Thessalonians worthy of their calling, fulfilling every resolve for good. Forgiveness and worthiness meet here: grace that lifts the burden of sin also empowers a life that reflects God’s glory.
Psalm 32:1–7; 2 Thessalonians 1:1–4,11–12; Isa 1:10–18; Luke 19:1–10
