Thankful
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” I Thessalonians 5:16-18
What Is Your Being Thankful Based On?
1. Being thankful is not based on how I feel; it’s based on what I know.
2. Being thankful is not based on what happens; it’s based on knowing God works all things for my good.
3. Being thankful is not based on where I am; it’s based on where I’m going.
4. Being thankful is not based on the possessions I have; it’s based on the person of Jesus Christ and the promise of salvation that I possess.
5. Being thankful is not about the absence of problems; it’s about the presence of God in my life.
6. Being thankful is not about the temporal things that surround me; it’s about being thankful for the everlasting promises of God’s word and the eternal promise that awaits me in Heaven.
7. Being thankful is not about being thankful for the problems of life; it’s about being thankful for the promises of God that get me through the problems of life.
