Thankful for a Life in Union with Christ Jesus

 "Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances. This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus."1Thess 16-18

The Holy Spirit is a powerfilled counselor and a gift from God to remind us of all the things Jesus taught us. As you give thanks today and this week for all the wonderful blessings in your life, think on these words. "Be Thankful in all circumstances". Thank God for some of the circumstances that might not have made the cut in your Thanksgiving day citation of thanks.
 Some of you may be going through tough times and think that God didn't really mean to be thankful for that specific circumstance. It may help to consider the promise God gave us in, Romans 8:28,  "And we know that God causes everything to work together  for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."  Are you taking time to notice the ways God is working all things, including your difficult circumstances, for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Take a few minutes each day and meditate on God's word and let the Holy Spirit instruct your heart through Faith. Choose your own scriptures as the Spirit leads you or use the sample below to get you started.

Day one: Be Joyful Always
Day two: Pray at all times
Day three: Be Thankful in All Circumstances
Day four: This is what God wants from you in your life
Day five: In your life in union with Christ Jesus
Day six: Be Joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances
Day seven: This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus

Happy Thanksgiving!
