Show Yourself Thankful

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.15-16.NASB1995

Let the peace of Christ act as arbiter in your heart. He is the One who holds the absolute power of judgment in your life. Surrender your life and be part of the body of Christ and show yourself  thankful.
Let His word dwell in you and join in joyful singing with others, overflowing with thankfulness to God for the blessing of the fellowship of His saints together.

Are you thankful for the body of Christ? Are you participating with the body of Christ for the purpose and glory of God?
Are you a member of the body of Christ.

* If you desire to be a believer, a member of the body in Jesus Christ, please seek out a believer you know and talk with them. You will be thankful you did.

🌹Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Thankful Praying

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/php.4.6-7.NASB1995

What a friend we have in Jesus. One so near who knows our wants and needs before we even open our mouths but listens anyway. I am so thankful He is only a breath away.
When I pour out my heart, He brings my heart to thankfulness. Thankful that He is big enough to handle the tears, fears, troubles and my confessions of sin. Thankful that He is a forgiving God and able to restore my heart and mind. Thankful for His peace and grace; forgiveness and restoration.

Anxiety replaced with peace.
Requests turned to thankful praise.
Yes, I am very thankful I have a friend in Jesus.

Who is Wise?

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary and gathered from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
<><><><><><><><><><>
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

For He has satisfied the thirsty soul, and the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.
<><><><><><><><><><>
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death And broke their bands apart.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
<><><><><><><><><><>
Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted. . . . they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!
<><><><><><><><><><>
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!

But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction, And makes his families like a flock. The upright see it and are glad; But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

🌹Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, And consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.

https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.5.18.NASB1995

A heart filled with thanks will pray to God continually. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
A heart filled with thanksgiving will praise God. Psalms 7:17
A heart filled with thanks will be loving, giving, caring.

Pray to The God of Life

pray without ceasing;
1 Thessalonians 5:17 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.5.17.NASB1995

Different versions of the Bible quote this verse as:
Pray without ceasing
Pray constantly
Pray continually
Also:
Always keep on praying
Never stop praying
Constantly pray

The gist of this is that we pray. Do it. Prayer is important.
Prayer is talking with God. When we are in a relationship, talking is essential to thrive, to build a good relationship. So, if God is with us alwaysÂą, why would we not communicate with Him continually.

Prayer does not have to be on our knees. It does not have to be with our hands together. It does not have to be with our eyes closed (I definitely would not recommend this while driving). Prayer can happen wherever you are. It can happen at any time. ²God does not sleep. He is available 24/7.
¹Matthew 28:20, ²Psalms 121:3-4

Share your joys, fears, hurts, victories, losses, intimate, personal thoughts . . . EVERYTHING! Every minute of your day. He is waiting to hear from you.

As children of Almighty God, what a privilege we have to bring anything and everything to Him in prayer.

What a privilege to have full access to God through prayer. Be confident that God hears your prayers.

🙏Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
Psalms 54:2 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.54.2.NASB1995

🌹Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His lovingkindness from me.

Rejoice Always

Rejoice always;
1 Thessalonians 5:16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1th.5.16.NASB1995

Rejoice: to be glad; take delight “in”

Rejoice . . .
. over the goodness of God – Exodus 18:9
. before the Lord your God in all your undertakings – Deuteronomy 12:18
. in your undertakings in which the Lord has blessed you – Deuteronomy 12:7
. in God’s salvation – 1 Samuel 2:1
. because the Lord reigns – 1 Chronicles 16:31; Psalm 97:1
. all day in the name of the Lord – Psalm 89:16

Do you take time regularly to delight in the Lord? Has rejoicing in the Lord become a habit in your life?

I have found in my own life that my days go better when I am focused on rejoicing in the Lord. I can find the good in my day. I see where God is at work in me and through me when my heart is set on rejoicing in Him. I can delight in Him as I travel through my day because He opens my eyes to see things that make my heart rejoice in my God. I shall always make it a habit to look to God each day seeking to have Him reveal in my heart something to rejoice in Him.

Rejoice in the day the Lord has made – Psalm 128:24

🌹Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
