Give thanks in all circumstances
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Today I just wanted to share my theme verse for this point in my life. So, about theme verses, I don’t choose them, the Lord does. I have had other theme verses but over the past few months the Lord keeps hammering this into my life. It kept cropping up in my brain, in my quiet time with the Lord, in Bible studies and sermons, in my happy times and in my sad times. So when a Scripture does that I call it my theme verse and God uses it over and over to help and teach me.
My Theme Verse …
It’s printed as a visual reminder on our big, old, green chalkboard from childhood that resides in our kitchen. 👀
It’s in my thoughts 🧐
It’s in my prayers. 🙏
It’s in my communications. ☎️
It helps keep me focused.😊
It helps me and it helps others with whom I share it. 🥰
Paul uses this phrase within a series of instructions. I really love these verses …
“Be joyful always;
pray continually;
give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 NIV
I’ve had other theme verses at different times in life that I’ve used, claimed and shared and they have, and still do, help me beyond measure.
God works like that you know … through His word being a part of our daily lives, then it spreads on to others.
Dear Friends, my prayer for you today is that the Lord be real in your life and that you too have a theme verse to help along the way. 😊
My Theme Verse is underlined in red. My apologies for my hard to read chalk penmanship and missed words but you get the point. I apologize also to those of you who don’t see fit to pull for the Tide (college football) or the Braves (they won the MLB World Series this year just in case you didn’t know 😉). Welcome to our kitchen and a glimpse into our life 😃
May the Lord bless you bunches today!
Kim 💕🙏😊
