Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thes. 5:16-18)
Let's quickly look at this verse in the Passion Translation...
Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God's perfect will for you in Christ Jesus.
What would your life look like if you took authority over every area of it? What would it be like if you were really rejoicing in God every moment of your days, always praying and constantly thanking Him for all He has done for you?
After all...
He has given us everything we need for life and godliness! He has saved us, healed us, delivered us from every evil and blessed us with every spiritual blessing, seated us (place of authority) with Him in heavenly places, promised to be with us, and to never leave or forsake us.
He said we can call on Him for wisdom in trouble, and that we can trust Him and follow Him through each day as He gently leads us and guides us in the purpose for which He created us, promising to comfort us and bring restoration in our lives!
He has done it all, and invites us to simply follow Him each day, putting these basic principles into practice. He even shows us how to pray, how to treat others, and shows us a love that is unfailing so we can model that for others and invite them to join the family.
Yes, and He said He would supply every need we have. What more could we ask for? And God of your creation just loves to spend time with us - just to be together! How awesome is our God!!! Oh thanks be to God for this indescribable gift!
What manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called the sons of God. What love that our holy God would make us His bride and call us His beloved! What a beautiful continual joyous feast is set before us as we anticipate the inexpressible joy of the wedding feast with Jesus our Bridegroom; to know that we will live with Him in everlasting joy in His presence forever!
It makes this training ground here on earth worth the journey as we walk in passionate love with our God and Father of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - our Master, Healer and Helper. What joy to tell others about all of this!
Oh, give Him thanks! All the honor, glory and praise belong to Him forever and ever. What an indescribable gift indeed!
Think about it and share it with others. God bless you!
