1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
What of Today’s Verse…
Where does your heart live? That’s what these verses are all about. Is there a constant awareness in your life that God is present? Is he the unseen but always present companion in all your ups and downs? Or is God here when it is convenient and gone when things are busy? Joy comes from knowing we are never alone. Prayer is the ongoing conversation we have, Spirit to Spirit, with God. Thanksgiving is the great reminder that we have been blessed no matter what the circumstances may suggest.

Let us Pray:
Precious and Righteous Father, thank you for being there. Give me a deeper appreciation and always more profound awareness of your presence today. May my life reflect the joy you have given me by saving me by grace. And may my heart always find its home in you. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
Get busy…
The secret to getting things done is doing them. That may sound obvious, yet too few people take it to heart.
All too often we avoid taking action because we feel we’re not qualified, or not worthy, or the timing isn’t right, or the market conditions are not ideal, or it might not work out, or “what would people think?”, or “what would I be missing?” The list of reasons for not taking action is endless.
What are YOU waiting for? Whatever it is, it won’t come unless you do something about it. There are many obstacles to every course of action. The biggest obstacle, however, comes from not doing anything. Fortunately, that’s an obstacle that you can overcome instantly, as soon as you start to take action.
Waiting for things to get better? They’ll be better when you make them better. Get busy and make it happen.
