Wednesday Word

Good Wednesday morning, 
Today I want share a pretty short but powerful set of scriptures.

I Thess 5: 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit

These are a part of the final instructions for the church. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks no matter what and don't quench the spirit.
Very short but somewhat difficult request, if we are not conscious of our thoughts. In our flesh we don't always want to rejoice because in our minds everything isn't rejoice worthy, yet it says rejoice always.  Not when you feel like it, not when it feels good, but always. Hum
It goes on to say pray without ceasing.  Not as difficult but it does require that we keep our thoughts under subjection. That we are more focused on the roll conversation with your father.
Then it brings us back to the idea that we have to look past our feelings and obey what the Lord is requiring of us. So it says give thanks in all circumstances,  for this is the will of the Lord concerning you. So even my flesh might not want to I have to find a way to give thanks. Interesting enough this was probably one many lines that power if positive thinking people have taken from the word. No matter how bad a situation might be find the good in it, and give thanks.
And as you giving that don't allow the rest of the situation to water out your fire.  You have to keep you fire burning, for the word and presence of God.
Again, for short scripture that makes have to focus on keeping our thought focused and on track. Hope pray that you have a blessed Wednesday in Jesus name.

As always...live Blessed
