November 27 - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Be joyful always; 

pray without ceasing; 

give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is God's will for you

in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

 

Do you ever want to know God’s will?

 

My wife Mary Louise says, "That’s why I like this verse!"

 

To know God's will, God invites us to do three things:

• Instead of thinking about what we get, need, what, or have – or don’t have – this verse invites us to focus on what we can give.
• Instead of worrying about what may or may not come, we need to give things back to God – regularly, repeatedly, unceasingly.
• And instead of being sucked into dramas that are dark – monitor your friendships, values, and TV choices – and habits that are unproductive, focus on things that are light, bright, worthwhile, productive and affirming. And see if joy doesn’t begin to chase you a little more.

In Christ’s Love,

a guy whose last name is Will

(and want’s his first name

to be "God’s" not "My")
