Grace for your spirit November 19,2012

Grace for your spirit
In everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.  I Thessalonians 5:18

Many people misread this verse and dismiss it.  They think it reads that we need to be thankful for everything, and object.  They wonder how they can be thankful for all the evil that comes our way.  God's will is for us to be thankful in every situation.  In whatever state we find ourselves, God wants us to be thankful.  It is a key part of holy living, prayer, and helping others in bad times.  It is God's will for us, so he expects performance instead of complaints.  Let's start practicing right now.  In every circumstance we find ourselves today, let's find something for which we can be thankful. It's God's will becoming our will. It will help us all have a happy thanksgiving.
