The devil is a subtle and unwearied tempter, who seeks an opportunity to beguile and destroy us, and takes all advantages against us, both in a time of prosperity and adversity; and he has often been successful in his attacks upon persons under afflictions. He has often prejudiced the minds of men against religion on account of the sufferings its professors are exposed to. We have reason therefore to be jealous over ourselves and others, lest we be ensnared by him. It is the devil’s design to hinder the good fruit and effect of the preaching of the Gospel. If he cannot hinder ministers from laboring in the Word and Doctrine, he will, if he be able, hinder them of the success of their labors. Faithful ministers are much concerned about the success of their labors. No one would willingly labor in vain; and ministers are loth to spend their strength, and pains, and time, for naught. So is the Will and Purpose of God that through many afflictions we must enter into His Kingdom. The New Matthew Henry commentary on 1 Thessalonians 3:5
