This is a follow up to the post from yesterday...which incidentally was written about ten minutes before this one. We were talking about psalm 92 today in staff meeting and I thought about this verse afterwards and then I was reminded of it again when George was praying and mentioned it. I think God was trying to reinforce the importance of the verse to me today. The verse states that we should give thanks to God in all circumstances. ALL circumstances. I often find, and others may as well, that it seems easier to pray when things are not going well for us and easier to give thanks when things are going well. I bring up prayer because "pray continually" is the verse right before this one. If we are to give thanks in all circumstances shouldn't we be praying and giving thanks both when things are going well and when they are not. I hope that makes sense. A lot of times it is easier for me to pray when something is bothering me than to pray when things are going great. I know I need to be better about that with my family and with the youth. So I'm asking anyone who reads this to hold me accountable.....to share prayers of thanksgiving.
grace & peace
