Being thankful is God’s will. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Walking in the center of God’s will is like being in the eye of a hurricane. No chaos. No despair. No anxiety. Clear direction. Led by the Holy Spirit. 

Let’s go back to living from faith to faith. Now faith is present faith. Faith in the moment is based on Who God is. As we affirm His word to our hearts, we enter into it and are encapsulated in its truth. 

We face an impossible circumstance. Our heart rate goes up. Our mind starts to careen. Then His word that is hidden in our hearts rises and it centers us on  the Lord. 

Thankfulness comes to wrap around our lives to secure us. “Thank You Lord that You are in control. No weapon formed against me will prosper. You are my Strength and my Song. You are my Deliverer.”
