Give Thanks In All Circumstances; For This Is The Will Of God In Christ Jesus For You! (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Thankfulness is a matter of
perspective—how do you view where you are right now? Are you thankful while trusting
in God’s will or are you a complainer? Thankfulness maximizes the blessings of
life and minimizes every negative circumstance we encounter. For example, you
may not be thankful for the doctor’s test results, but you can thank God, because
it could have been worse. You may not be thankful for your job, but you thank
God you have a job and health insurance for you and your loved ones. You may
not be thankful, because you do not have the latest greatest car, but you can
thank God you have a car that gets you where you need to go. When you choose to
turn your focus from complaining to thankfulness—God’s fullness, God’s joy and
God’s peace can flow in you! (Romans 15:13, Philippians 4:7) I encourage you, no
matter what you’re suffering, be it a health crisis, a deep hurt you’ve experienced,
a financial crisis—by faith, give thanks to God! This is what God is using in
your life and allowed, because He loves you and He knows what’s best for you,
according to His will for you. He will work it out for your good! (Romans 8:28)
“Never worry about anything, but in
every situation let Me know what you need in prayers and requests while giving
thanks. Then My peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard
your thoughts and emotions!” (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ God
Pray This Prayer With Me: Father of exceeding abundance, I give you glory and I’m
thankful You are able to do all things well. Whenever I begin to become
negative or complain, help me by giving me a gentle nudge or a reminder that
You are good all the time and for that reason I have so much to be thankful
for! I thank You and I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen. Have a great day!
Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely
valuable and important in God’s eyes! In His service, Jacob...
