In All Things, Give Thanks

 Main Scripture: give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thess 5:18 (KJV)

  Song for Meditation: Thanks, I Give You Thanks by Jovie Dino Jansen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MF4xWiFO980)


The scripture for today encourages us to be grateful in not just some situations but all situations.

Today is celebrated as Thanksgiving Day in the United States, it is a public holiday and a day where people spend time with their families and have a big dinner. Thanksgiving Day according to Wikipedia is a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. A lot of times people forget to give thanks to the one who made it all worthwhile – Jesus Christ.

Ladies on this day, although you may or may not be in the United States, I encourage you to be thankful. Be thankful despite whatever circumstances you might have. Your car might have been totalled but be grateful that you survived. You may not have all you wanted for thanksgiving dinner but be grateful for your family. Find something to be grateful for today. Instead of complaining, pause think about the good in the situation and start being thankful for the good. I assure you will feel better for doing so.

Have a God filled Day Ladies,
Let’s Pray

Lord Jesus, we paused today to say thanks. Thanks for our families, for our lives , for our jobs and even for our problems. Father you have been so faithful over the past year and today we just pause to say thank you.

In Jesus Name

Amen
