“Give Thanks!”

“So when it comes to doing things Gods way..well, first off its nothing like our way..Amen..for the bible tells us that Gods ways are not as ours..Amen..for it says that His ways are not like our ways..His thoughts are not like ours..as far as the heavens are higher than the earth so is His ways higher and His thoughts..(Isaiah 55:8-9)..Amen..so for us we try and do things are way..and we want it done our way..and we fight and we strife..and we do all the things in between trying to get things to go and run smoothly..Amen..but when we are following the Lord..we have to do things the Lords way..and regardless if its good or not..we most follow that way..that pathway..we must do and be present right where God has placed our feet..Amen..even if its a mess..even if its not where we wanna be..even if it all is falling apart..we as Gods children are to be thankful the bible says in all things..Amen..we are to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and in everything the word of God says to give thanks; for this is the ‘WILL’ of God in Christ Jesus for you..(1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)..Amen!”

“So again does this make sense as I say when all is a mess..when all is falling apart..when life is happening..when health problems are happening..when stuff just starts breaking..and everything is going south so to speak?..Amen..not in the natural its not for us..its foreign to us..and especially in the beginning of following the Lord and His word..and His ways..Amen..and even now we have to stop ourselves from drowning in the mess thats before our eyes..and do as God is saying to do..because that is where we all are gonna make it through the situations..Amen..because our ways do not work..we end up saying things..doing things..and acting ways that are not at all anything like the Lords..or we simply run away from the stuff..and again how many of you know that you will be right back at the same spot until you get it right the second time around..or the third of the fourth?..Amen..for you see God is always trying to change us and grow us in Him..Amen..so by getting the lesson and understanding the assignment as some like to call it..then we get to move on..Amen!”

“So again we are to give thanks in everything..and that is not easy..we are to rejoice always..and again that is not easy when life is happening..Amen..we are to pray continually..and that again is not always easy when things are a mess and falling apart..Amen..but it is the will of God in Christ Jesus for us..and each of us as His children..and why would we think this would be the commands of the Lord for us?..well, because in rejoicing we are happy..and happiness brings strength..for the word says that the joy of the Lord is our strength..(Nehemiah 8:10)..Amen..and for us to pray without ceasing..and this isn’t just a continual bowed head before the Lord..but it is us as His children recognizing that the Lord is with us always..and in doing so we are always in this state of praying to Him in our every day living and lives as we go along..Amen..and lastly in everything give thanks for that is the will of God concerning each of us..Amen..and what do we all mostly want in life?..we all wanna know Gods will for us?..Amen..well His will is for us to give thanks in everything..Amen..because in doing so..then we do remain happy..and we do remain rejoicing..and we do remain in a state of praying to the Lord continually..and we do give thanks..and by giving thanks our hearts and minds stay moving in the right direction all throughout our day..Amen..walking and rejoicing and praying as we are going along..sharing and spreading the gospel as we do..not by proclaiming it and shouting it from the streets..but simply by shining His light through us as we are being obedient and doing Gods will for our lives..making a difference where were at with what we have..trusting and following the Master..King Jesus..giving thanks to Him and Him alone always..Hallelujah!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
