Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in
the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
--Colossians
3:17

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S
VERSE
Everything! All!
No matter what we say, no matter what we do, it is to be offered as a
gift of thanks to God with Jesus' name, power, and honor attached! This makes all of life our worship and
thanksgiving to God. There's no such thing as going to worship; if we live, if
we talk, if we act it's worship. So how
has your worship been lately?
MY PRAYER
Almighty
and Most Holy God, I want all of my life to be lived out to your glory, a
living testament of thanks to you for the grace you have given me in
Jesus. While I do not always do this as
well as I would like, I lovingly offer you my words, my actions, my heart and
my mind to bring you glory by doing your will.
Please, use your Spirit to remove the areas of self-deception from my
life so that weakness and hypocrisy will not rob my discipleship of its
intended worship of your majesty. In
Jesus name I pray. Amen.
In All Circumstances
Today's Scripture:
Give
thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1
Thessalonians 5:18, NIV.
Today's Word:
Are
you giving thanks in every circumstance? This might seem like a stretch at
first, especially when you are going through a season of difficulty. But notice
today’s verse doesn’t say to give thanks “for” everything, it says give thanks
“in” everything. In other words, no matter what’s going on, find something to
be thankful for. Don’t just focus on what’s wrong in your life; focus on what
God will do in your life.
When
you are thankful, it opens the door for God to move on your behalf. That’s why
it says “this is God’s will for you.” He wants you to be close to Him to
receive His strength and power by giving thanks. That’s why we should always
have the attitude that says, “God, in spite of what’s happened, I choose to be
grateful. I may be sick, but Father, thank You for being my healer. Thank you
for giving me great friends and family.” Or, “I may be struggling in my
marriage, but God, thank You for being my restorer. Thank You for giving me
another sunrise.” As you give thanks in everything, you will see God’s hand
move mightily on your behalf, and you’ll come out of that difficulty better,
stronger and wiser than before.
Prayer for Today:
Father
God, today I choose to give You thanks in all things! I know that You are a
good God, and You have good plans in store for my future. I bless You and thank
You for another day to sing Your praise in Jesus’ name! Amen.
