1. RECEIVE.
Prepare your heart to hear from God. Try a simple prayer like this…
Heavenly Father, please help me understand this Bible verse.
…and then read the Verse For Today :
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV
Ask yourself what this verse might be trying to say, and think deeply on your answers. Here are just a few examples we might get from today’s verse........
Jesus expects me to share my faith with other people.
When I demonstrate God’s love, that draws others to Him.
I should work to remove things from my life that don’t show God’s love.
It is often through challenges that God grows my capacity to love others.
We have to be thankful in every situation. I've noticed if something happens that I'm not happy with it can spiral out of control. Our emotions take over and it can turn into many things like guilt, anger, disappointment and even can lead to depression.
In my book"Lifes Healing Choices" by John Baker on page 85 He calls it the CYCLE OF DESPAIR.
3. Respond.
Use this verse as the basis for a prayer.
God thank you for showing me how my attitude can have an affect on moods. And by being thankful in all situations I can be healed.
Because as they say in A.A If you dont change your attitude to gratitude. Your attitude will take you back out to drink. Stinking Thinking Will Lead To Drinking!!!!!
So I am so grateful to You for showing me this today. And I will try and be thankful in all my situations.
