Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18⠀ ⠀ November is pretty well known as a season of thankfulness, especially as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving. But what about the rest of the year? What about when we're dealing with divisive family arguments, or less than extraordinary financial circumstances?⠀ ⠀ This verse pretty clearly states God's will for us when it comes to being thankful. ALL circumstances. Not just the easy ones. Not just when we're 100% happy with our situation. We're to give thanks in EVERYTHING. Because even when we can't see God's plan through our human point of view, he is ALWAYS working things out for our good. And for that reason, we can give thanks in everything!⠀ ⠀ Devotion by @mrsalexaeby | Design by @maddybakes #VRSLY #madewithVRSLY #VRSLYdevotional . . . #blessed #instagood #pray #prayer #gratitude #healing #grace #beautiful #soul #inspiration #spirituality #life #wisdom #godisgood #courage #love #jesus #holy #trust #believe #christ #god #peace #truth #hope
