THANKFUL 24/7?

Ephesians 5:20

"Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." ESV

The Apostle Paul is telling us to be thankful all the time and for every thing. How can we do that when so many stressful and tragic things happen to us? Because, when we receive good things and positive times, our Lord has graciously poured out His blessings on us with no effort on our part. However, when we encounter bad things and negative times, our Lord graciously pours out His blessings and grace on us because we praise Him even in the storm.

Lord, teach us to be thankful all the time and for all things. Our thankfulness helps us remember how faithful and gracious You are to us. In Your great name we pray, Amen.

PEACE ISN'T THE ABSENCE OF ANYTHING!!

Colossians 3:15

"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful." ESV

Peace is not a lack of war or clamor. Peace is not a lack of anything. It is a strong, silent state. It is an active condition of the heart. Peace conquers war, confusion, and unrest. If we are living true to the Lord Jesus Christ, our lives will be filled with His everlasting peace.

Lord, we thank You for the peace that only You can give to us. Help us to understand that peace is not the absence of war, but that it is a powerful, active condition that passes all of our understanding. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.
