JOYCE MEYER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR NOVEMBER 23, 2022 (THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING THANKFUL)
TOPIC: The Importance of Being Thankful”
SCRIPTURE: — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (AMPC)
Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].
MESSAGE
Do you ever stop what you’re doing and just thank God for the good things in your life?
If you’ve ever wondered, what is God’s will for my life? the apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians that the first answer to that question is to be thankful.
One of the best ways to enjoy your life is to stop and thank God for the good things He has given you, no matter how big or small. Sometimes we are so anxious to get something new from God, we aren’t enjoying the things He has already blessed us with.
When you aren’t sure what step to take, I encourage you to take the “thanksgiving step”: Actively thank God for His kindness, His goodness, and His faithfulness in your life. You’ll be amazed at how this action will change your perspective and affect your day.
PRAYER STARTER
Father, I am thankful for all You do for me daily. Without Your help, and without Your hand guiding my life, things would be a mess. But because of Your presence in my life, I can be ever so grateful and just thank You for all the little things I know I take for granted, amen.
