In Every Thing Give Thanks

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing goes right? The day starts with spilling the ground coffee before it ever goes in the coffeemaker, then you have a problem with your laptop, every little thing becomes a big thing, you think no one understands or cares, and the day seems like it is never going to end?!?

After realizing I couldn't change the things that were happening, I decided to work on my blog without my laptop and I came across this verse "in everything give thanks for this is the will of God." Wow! I think God was trying to tell me something. We are to acknowledge everything that happens even the trying, painful, testing of days and give thanks.

"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

We have so much to be thankful for when we really think about it. The small irritating things we go through sometimes is nothing compared to what others are facing or going through that are ongoing and heartbreaking. So on those days we feel aggravated, say a prayer for God to help us and in every thing give thanks!

Love in Christ,
Tera
