“Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you” (2 Thessalonians 1:6).
We know that God has told us that we will not have an easy path through this world. We are following a rejected Christ, and the current of this world is against us. The Thessalonians were suffering tribulation (much trouble and suffering), but in our verse for today Paul tells them that in a coming day, God will remember all that unbelievers have done to the Christians in this world.
If you and I are suffering tribulation today, God will recompense (pay back) those who have done it, unless they repent and turn to Christ. It is a solemn thing to think that those who treat us badly in this world will suffer for it in a coming day. Not that we want them to suffer, but God is a righteous God, and those who harm His people will be made to realize that He took notice, and will not simply forget about it.
