In All Circumstances
Scripture:
“Give thanks in all circumstances…” 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Devotional:
Pastor Jerome reminded us on Sunday that gratitude puts things into perspective - it realigns our heart. We don’t thank God for every circumstance, but we can thank Him in every circumstance because He’s still God in it. Gratitude clears out the fog of frustration, stress, and confusion.
When we begin to thank God, perspective shifts:
• Fear becomes faith.
• Complaining becomes clarity.
• Lack becomes “God provides.”
Gratitude doesn’t ignore reality - it remembers God’s faithfulness in the middle of it.
Reflect:
1. What perspective do I need God to adjust right now?
2. What am I grateful for that I normally overlook?
3. How can I choose thanksgiving instead of frustration?
Prayer:
God, help me see clearly. Thank You for being constant, even when life is uncertain. Shift my perspective through gratitude. Amen.
Action:
Tell one person today something that God has done in your life recently that you’re grateful for!
