always, constantly, everything

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (JDV)

1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice always,
1 Thessalonians 5:17 pray constantly,
1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in everything; because this is God’s preference for you in Christ Jesus.

always, constantly, everything

We are used to rejoicing sometimes, praying occasionally, and giving thanks for a few things. But that is not God’s preference. Since we are in Christ, we have the ability to see God’s hand at work in the worst of times, to stay connected to our supply source constantly, and to find reason for appreciating the things the people of the world are not grateful for.

Lord, we want to stay connected to you, always.
