Thankfulness

Rejoice, pray, give thanks!

1 Thes 5;16.jpg

Joy is appropriate at all times.  Praying without ceasing does not mean pray repetitiously or continuously without a break, but rather pray persistently and regularly.  Thanklessness is a trait of unbelievers.

Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

Every day we are recipients of one blessing after another.  Every morning we see new mercies and rediscover God’s great faithfulness.  David Jeremiah’s Pathways Devotional, November 11.

“For these blessings we owe Almighty God, from whom we derive them, and with profound reverence, our most grateful and unceasing acknowledgements.”  James Monroe
