Being Thankful

“give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV).

It’s easy to look at that verse and think of some of the worst circumstances you’ve faced or are in right now, and think, “HOW?!”  But, take a close look at the first part of the verse: It says “in” all circumstances, not “for” all of them.  The Lord wants you and me to express thanks to Him in the midst of whatever we’re dealing with, whether it’s a joy or a struggle, a pleasure or a pain.  The act of thanking Him turns our focus off of ourselves and onto the One who takes care of us no matter what.

Wonderfully Made

“For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”  (Psalm 139:13-14 NIV).

Because of the intricate detail and delicate care that our Father has invested in creating each one of us, no two people are alike.  You and I are each unique.  His craftsmanship in making us has resulted in someone whom He considers “wonderful” just because we’re His handiwork.

May your heart and mind be encouraged through a growing knowledge of just how wonderful you are in our Father’s sight.
