Be Thankful

“Always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:18, NLT)
Many years ago, our personal world seemed to be crumbling around my husband and me.
All we had worked and planned for in the ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ was hanging on a slender thread.
Because of a series of unforeseen circumstances, we were facing a financial crisis.
But years before that, we had discovered God’s faithfulness.
When we express thanksgiving, obedience and gratitude to God, He releases His great power on our behalf.
So we began to thank God for who He is and what He had already done for us. Supernatural peace flooded our hearts. In a matter of days, apart from our abilities to solve the problem, God provided the solution.
Dear one, always be thankful…especially in crisis.
God can turn your tragedy to triumph, discord to harmony, and your defeat to victory.
