1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV) 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Why do we have to rejoice, pray, and give thanks? Because it is the will of God for us.
These are the things we must do to build up our relationship in God.
We often get asked the question, “how do we know what God is saying?”. And we always answer by saying, “get close to Him”.
How do we get close?
Knowing what scripture tells us to do, and then obeying it, will definitely get His attention.
He will draw near to us as we draw near to Him.
He will be so near to us that we will instantly be convicted when we are about to make a wrong move.
What a beautiful life!
He will show us in advance if we are about to do something wrong or if someone is about to take us out or cause us harm.
And by obeying what God shows us to do regarding it, we will avoid the situation and keep on moving forward. Wow!
It doesn’t come easy. We have to make an effort to get close to God to achieve such discernment.
By listening to His word and doing it, we will surely grow closer.
Start here by rejoicing, praying and giving thanks from our hearts, and we are on our way to a closer walk with Him.
