“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks! In all circumstances?!? How? Why?
Because if you are in Christ and Christ is in you, then you have much for which to give thanks, no matter your earthly circumstances or situation. In Christ…
- You are a precious, deeply loved child of God!
- You are forgiven for your sins and reconciled to God!
- You are sealed by the Holy Spirit and you are His Temple!
- Jesus is with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you!
- You have an eternal inheritance that cannot be threatened or damaged by anything or anyone here on earth!
- You have good works to do that have been specially prepared for you by God!
- Your life has purpose, a mission, and a mandate!
- You are a citizen of heaven, an ambassador here on earth, and a royal priest!
- You have a standing invitation to enter the throne room of God with any prayer concern any time, day or night!
Today, we pray you will take time to give thanks for these blessings and many more. Give thanks wherever you are and whatever you’re doing today. May God continue to bless you abundantly today, and every day, in Christ Jesus. Happy Thanksgiving from LRBC! #FollowJesus
