Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
I have decided to have a little personal 3-day Bible study in my devotions, focusing on one command in this passage every morning. That day, with God's help, I will apply what I studied that morning. My 3-day study would go like something like this:
Day 1: Rejoice Always (Identify situations that I wouldn't be joyful in, and ask God to help me to be joyful in those areas.)
Day 2: Pray Without Ceasing (Ask God to help me to pray to him about everything, all the time.)
Day 3: Give Thanks in All Circumstances (This one is similar to "Rejoice Always". I will identify things that I am not thankful for, and ask God to help me to be thankful for them.)
Maybe this is something you feel like you should do, too! I think it will really help me in these areas. I will try to post about every day that I do this, and share what I learn.
Thanks for reading!
This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible!! I look forward to seeing what you post on it. :D
