the verse that started it all

Be thankful, whatever the circumstances may be. If you follow this advice you will be working out the will of God expressed to you in Jesus Christ.Be thankful, whatever the circumstances may be. If you follow this advice you will be working out the will of God expressed to you in Jesus Christ.December 23, 2009 this verse came up off the page & was the first indicator that God was moving me into a new season.

Little did I know...


1 Thessalonians 5:18
No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who follow Christ Jesus. (NLT)

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (ESV)

thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. (The Message)

Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. (Amplified)

Be thankful, whatever the circumstances may be. If you follow this advice you will be working out the will of God expressed to you in Jesus Christ. (J. B. Phillips)



Have I always been thankful? No. Have I whined less than usual? Yes.
