Give Thanks for the Bad Days!

Give Thanks in All Circumstances

Here is a novel idea! Give thanks for the bad days. Yes, you heard me right. According to the Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we are to give thanks in all circumstances.

It is easy to give thanks when I am well-rested, and everything seems to be going my way. Don’t get me wrong; I am thankful for my good days too. I fair better when everything is going right; yet, I often become self-reliant when all is rosy.

One reason, I can give thanks for the hard times is because they point out my need for God. Yet, He is able to give me the strength I need to serve others even when I am at my worst. He never fails to supply all my needs. All I need to do is ask for His help and strength.

Another reason to be thankful for the tough times is to remember God’s many blessings in my life. God uses my bumps in the road to cause my faith to grow. Sure it is nice to want to be on the mountaintop with Him, but it is in the valleys that my faith is strengthened. When I am having a bad day, I can reflect on His blessings to provide me the hope to carry on.

Last but not least, if I reflect on what Jesus went through to set me free, my bad days don’t seem so bad. The joy of knowing Him becomes my strength. So the next time you find yourself having a bad day, give thanks to God, for He is good and will bring you through it all.

I pray: Lord God, Heavenly Father, help me to stop when I am having a bad day and give You thanks for You are good. I know that You will bring me through it. Amen.

The Truth that Will Set You Free

September 19, 2020 No Comments

Read All About It!

Everyone is searching for the truth these days. Jesus said in the gospel of John, “I am the way, the Truth, and the life.” (John 14:6) Jesus also told Pilate that He had come to testify to the truth. This truth will set you free from the law of sin and death. Jesus is the Son of God, died for your sins, and raised Him to life again.

Therefore, Jesus is the real power that transforms lives. You can see this when you read the book of John. He and his brother, James, were called the sons of thunder by Jesus. They both wanted to sit in high places next to Jesus, but He told them that to be the first, one had to be a servant to all. John is known as the disciple Jesus loved. Jesus forever changed his life, and he went on to write 1, 2, 3 John, and the book of Revelation.

Here is another truth. After this life, we all will have to give an account of what we did with the knowledge of Jesus. Do we believe Him to be the Son of God who died for our sins? Did we tell others about Him? Or do we deny who He is?

The Hard Truth

Now comes the other side of this. For those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, there will be wrath and fury. (Romans 2:8) God wants all to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus, but those who love the darkness and whose works are evil, reject Him. God loves all and sent His Son to die for all our sins. Yet, some people cannot handle the truth and stand condemned already because they have not believed in Jesus.

So do you know Jesus to be the true Son of God? Follow this link for our responsibility as believers.

Jesus is the Truth that will set you free!
