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
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
Do you want to know some things you can do to please God?
- Rejoice in his grace.
- Pray for others.

These are simple things God wants us to do, and doing them to honor him changes everything. Doing these things is not only spiritual, but also life-giving!
