Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
The leftovers are in the fridge, the Macy’s parade floats are going back in storage, and your extended family’s on their way home. Thanksgiving Day has come to an end. With that annual reminder of God’s blessings in the rearview mirror, what should you do now?
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
With Turkey Day behind us, thoughts now turn to the busyness of the Christmas season. There are cards to send, presents to buy, parties to attend, and cookies to bake. What should be the first item on your to-do list?
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
What about for those whose December will be marked by more loss than joy, more grief than hope? How should those readying for a blue Christmas respond in anticipation of their pain?
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
Gratitude is for more than one day. Worship is
for more than one season. Prayer is for more than just hard times. So rejoice
always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is
God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
