"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is GOD'S WILL FOR YOU who belong to Jesus Christ."
Are you always joyful? Do you pray without ceasing? Are you thankful to God no matter what the circumstances are in your life? A lot of us will have to answer no to these questions. Still, we all want to know what is God's will for our lives! How can we be in God's will every day? The closer you live like the One Truth Today in our scripture, the closer you can come to God's will for your life. We need to commit to rejoice in the Lord always and to be joyful. We need to make it a habit to never stop praying and look to the Lord for everything. We need to give thanks to God for all he has given us and done for us. Do you belong to Jesus Christ or not?
We should be happy and joyful in our faith. Do not forget we were each lost in our sins and dead eternally until the Lord Jesus Christ saved us and gave us eternal and perfect life in heaven. This is the gift that keeps on giving. This is the reason we should always be joyful, never stop praying and remember to be thankful in all circumstances, not just in the good times. If we can do this we can be assured that we will be in the Lord's will for our lives.
It may seem difficult to be thankful in a time of death, illness or a calamity, but we must never lose sight of our overall goal of eternal life and that in perfection. Heaven is something to always be thankful for. Imagine being in perfection without any death, illness, weeping or wailing. What happens here on earth is only for a moment but heaven is eternal. The Lord has a perfect plan for our lives that we may not understand at a given moment. He will reveal the reasons in His own good time for the events of our lives. When you look back from the perspective of heaven you will understand the reason for all that occurred here on earth. If you are in God's will here on earth you will find more peace and joy and thanksgiving. Keep on praying for the Lord to show you His will.
