In all circumstances
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
If you consider yourself a Christian a true follower of Christ Jesus do you,
Rejoice always,
Pray without ceasing,
Give thanks in all circumstances
When I read this portion of scripture I think of Paul and Silas praising the Lord in prison. The book of Acts telling us,
“... "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them." Acts 16:25
They were in a bad situation. Roman prisons were not good places yet they were praising God with the other prisoners listening to them. Paul and Silas turning a bad situation into a opportunity to witness for Christ.
The other things we are called to do is rejoice always pray without ceasing and give thanks in all circumstances. Things that can be hard to do sometimes yet if we look to God and train ourselves to do these things when things are going well. We will instinctively do it when things are going bad.
So the question becomes if you consider yourself a true follower of Christ Jesus do you Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances?
Please think about it.
