Easier said than done~
"Be cheerful no matter what"*
NO MATTER WHAT?
What is your WHAT?
How is it possible to
"Be cheerful no matter what"*
or as another bible version writes~
"Rejoice always and delight in your faith" *
ALWAYS & NO MATTER WHAT?
Easier said than done
if you just stop there,
because how does someone
BE CHEERFUL & REJOICE
in the midst
of
turbulent times
trials
sickness. & _______?
Aren't you glad that GOD does not expect us to just put on a happy face
and fake fine when things are not so fine,
because HE takes the burden from our striving to try to fabricate
JOY on our own.
"Pray all the time" *
"Be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation (no matter what the circumstances)"*
ALL THE TIME & NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES?
Hmm.
PRAY. Talk to GOD. Cry to GOD. Tell HIM exactly what you are feeling at every moment
IN ALL things.
Hmm.
So there is HOPE in the midst of ALL THINGS ALWAYS.
Maybe it is easier done than said
as GOD doesn't stop there~
"Thank GOD no matter what happens" *
"Be thankful and continually give thanks to GOD"*
Hmmm.
NO MATTER WHAT & CONTINUALLY~
THANK GOD?
But how do you THANK GOD for the not so thankful circumstances?
Hmm.
JUST THANK GOD for GOD being GOD despite the circumstances.
PRAYERFULLY THANKING GOD
for GOD being GOD
for being ever so present
at every moment
NO MATTER WHAT~
"for this is the will of GOD for you in CHRIST JESUS."*
Hmm.
IN CHRIST JESUS~
. "This is the way GOD wants you who belong to CHRIST JESUS to live"
GOD'S WILL vs. my WILL & your WILL.
Who wins.
We win when we
"Be Joyful Always.
Pray Continuously
Give Thanks in all circumstances
for this is the will of GOD in CHRIST JESUS"
*(I Thessalonians 5:16-18 MSG, AMP, NIV)
Easier done than said when we do it GOD'S WAY in HIS WAY
so we are UNLEASHED to a life filled with
JOY & THANKSGIVING
ALWAYS & NO MATTER WHAT
because
GOD IS ALWAYS
the
"SAME GOD" (listen to the song below)
NO MATTER WHAT
