Worship Message:
We are grateful for Worship Wednesdays!
We have so much to be grateful for in this life, every single day. But reality is that sometimes constant life demands, battles, and worries give more room to defeat than to a thankful heart. We may also sometimes forget, in the midst of busyness and pressures, just to pause and give thanks for all that God has done and continues to do in our lives.
Sometimes it really is a sacrifice to offer praise and thanks. We may not feel like it. We may be struggling or maybe even feel like God has let us down. We may think that God seems distant, like he’s far away, or doesn’t really care about the small thing that is troubling us.
The bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18, “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
I want to share with you the key that makes the difference. We have a choice, every day, to give Him thanks. With a heart of thanksgiving, we realize that no matter what we face, God doesn’t just work to change our situations and help us through our problems. He does more than that. He changes our hearts. His power, through hearts of gratitude and focused minds on Him, releases the grip our struggles have over us. We’re strengthened by His peace and refueled by His joy.
Be Blessed!
