Bite-size application #1

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

sounds like a tall order huh.but here's what i learnt and am still learning to apply.

"Our joy, prayers and thankfulness should not fluctuate with our circumstances or feelings. Obeying these three commands - be joyful, pray continually, and give thanks - often goes against our natural inclinations. When we make a conscious decision to do what God says, however, we will begin to see people in a new perspective. When we do God's will, we will find it easier to be joyful and thankful."

so even when you don't feel like being joyful, prayerful and thankful, just do it.i believe that when you make the conscious effort to obey God, He gives you the strength you need to do it.. and gradually, it becomes easier and easier!

we try it starting now ok?
every time you don't feel like it, remember what you read here, and apply! (:
