1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thes 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.


I didn't put the whole verse in the title today because I feel like 18 really fits this the best. I have always heard that when it rains it pours and that is definitely the truth. Sometimes you get going good and things are going well just one right after the other and then you hit a wall and boom, it all starts to crumble. I haven't quite been able to figure out why even though I ask. You can't really question God though. All of these circumstances are given to you for a reason even if we don't really know why. It is definitely a struggle for me to be thankful even in the hard times but I have to appreciate all I have around me. I have been given these not so pleasant circumstances for a reason. Maybe it's to practice patience, maybe it's to see how far I am pushed before I will let things bother me, maybe it's to see how well I can control my temper or my mouth.. I am not totally sure what it is but I am trying my best to not let those things get the best of me. I am thankful for those situations that are not by any means my favorite because they help me turn to the Lord. When I turn to the Lord in all situations and talk with Him and ask for His help, it builds my walk and relationship with Him. 


so sometimes, when everything hits you all at once and those walls are starting to crumble, it may just be God trying to get your attention back on Him instead of other things. 




Happy Wednesday.
