¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray without ceasing, ¹⁸ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)

These are the keys to connectedness to God. Always rejoice in the Lord. Always be in an attitude of prayer. Always be thankful to Him in all circumstances.

It is God’s will that we stay our focus on Him.

Not our circumstances – “good” or “bad”.

Not our station in life.

Not our pay grade or position.

Not our health.

Not our standing with other people.

Recognize God’s sovereignty over all creation. Realize you are part of His creation, thus under His sovereignty. Understand this is GREAT news because God is Love, and He loves and cares for you.

It is God’s will that we stay connected with Him ALWAYS, at ALL TIMES. He is sovereign over every pain, every doubt, every fear, every anxiety…

He takes what the enemy intended for evil and turns it to our good.

Remember that always. The Truth of your life, your situation, is found in Jesus.
