Devotion:
Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
Paul encourages us to give thanks “in all circumstances.” It is easy to give thanks when things are going well, but how do we give thanks in difficult times? God does not expect us to be grateful for difficult things, but to be thankful for God’s presence and the good that God will bring regardless of circumstances. An attitude of gratitude can change perspective on any situation. Which leads us to depend on the One who gives us strength, grace, and endurance.
Personal Worship Option:
Prayer for today: Dear Father, I sit here in awe of all that I should thank you for. You are so much bigger and greater than I could ever understand. Give me reminders to be grateful today. Don't allow me to miss the small - or - big blessings around me. Fill my heart with gratitude. Thank you for loving me and for your gift of grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
