“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV
Paul’s simple remedy for being Christ-like is to let joy be our continual feast, and to be cheerfully happy at all times. Let’s make our life a prayer, constantly engaging our thoughts in worshipful prayer. And in the midst of everything let’s be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for us in Christ Jesus. Our gratitude is not based on anything fragile or fading, but secured in the fact that God’s purpose for us was concluded in Christ Jesus. These three virtues as we focus on: unbounded joy; praying continually; and giving thanks to God no matter what happens in our lives - combine to form the wonderful expression of Christ’s life within us. Amen!
