Always Be Joyful.
Never Stop Praying.
Be Thankful In All Circumstances.

Two words that you never should hear from your spouse when he or she is fighting with you and two words that you should never use in a fight are “Always” and “Never”.  …

Scripture

1 Thessalonians 5

¹⁶ Always be joyful. ¹⁷ Never stop praying. ¹⁸ Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Observation

Two words that you never should hear from your spouse when he or she is fighting with you and two words that you should never use in a fight are “Always” and “Never”. 

But in 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 we find the words “always” and “never” used to describe how you and I should live.

We could rewrite these verses maybe like this, “Always joyful, always praying, and always thankful”.

God will for us is “always be joyful, never stop praying, and to be thankful in all circumstances”.

Now we just have to put these verses into practice!

Application

I will be joyful today. I will pray all during the day today. I will be thankful. How about you?

Prayer

 Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
