Road to Joy Tip 21: Joy in Thanksgiving

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 

Have you given thanks in all circumstances in your life? This command seems difficult to follow, especially when we undergo trials and our days aren’t always filled with happiness. But, it is by the grace of God’s mercy that He can lift our spirits and cause us to rejoice in Him, no matter what we are going through. Ask God to help you experience joy in your heart and to show you how to give thanks in all circumstances. As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, let us rejoice, pray, and give thanks, for this is God’s will for us.
