I'm Gonna Praise

Bedside table books.

For years, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, has been my life verse. It's a survival code.

Be joyful always, pray without ceasing and in all things give thanks.  

Be joyful simply because of what Jesus did on the cross for us and for the consistency of God's loving presence.

Pray without ceasing knowing with confidence that God hears our prayers and created prayer as a way of communication with him.

Give thanks in all things because God is always working things together for his glory, which equates to working for our good.

Looking at my beside table and the resources I am currently using to grow in Christ, the hardest one to pick up somedays is the 5 Minute Gratitude Journal.  

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2-4

God will bless you, if you don't give up when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, just as he rewards everyone who loves him.  James 1:12 (CEV)

What trial are you facing? What hardship do you need to thank God for by faith, knowing there is purpose in the pain?
