Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-19

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Being thankful for what we have is something to keep at the forefront of our hearts and minds.

Sometimes it can be very easy to forget the hardships that God has brought us through. The sting we felt and tears we shed fade away into the past.

How about the heartache and fear that was so heavy at night when we laid awake in bed, trying to figure it all out? Have they just slowly become a distant memory?

It can be easy sometimes to forget how God, in His omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent way, came through and helped us come through it all.

Time goes by and we forget. The stress we once felt subsides. The tears turn to joy, the heartache heals and the fear, if we’re not careful, can turn into pride.

After all God brought us through, and our situation is behind us, remember Who set us free. Remember Who brought us out of our hardship, our situation. And don’t forget to remain in Him, and stay thankful for all that He will continue to help us with every day for as long as we live.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Amen.
