Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 MSG

The mighty Creator of heaven and earth knows the plans He has for our days. There is purpose in ALL He provides. He readies us to receive His offering of love EVERY day of our lives, as we learn how it feels to faithfully TRUST.

Life can be difficult when we don’t know what will happen next. But, in moments to remind us who is working in our lives, Christ shows how to handle the happenings of our days. He blesses the heart of our faithfulness and rewards us in moments to remember how good it feels to be grateful!

Jesus opens the eyes of our hearts. And, when we are held in peace, He helps us see glimpses of what’s ahead and focus on strength from the Father. He reminds us to put our HOPE in Him and BELIEVE in the power of His greatness.

If God can create heaven, earth and EVERY living thing, surely He will create desire in us to be grateful. Let us praise Him for waking us to another day of life and find reason in our hearts to love Him more!

Dear God, Thank you for reminding us to take time to notice Your awesome displays of greatness. You provide HOPE in every season and never neglect to help us recognize the power of Your love. Fill us with a heart of praise and help us remember You are the Maker of every living thing. We will gratefully honor You EVERY day of our lives and find reason to simply say, “It's a new day! Thank you!" Amen
