帖撒羅尼迦前書 5:16-18
16 要常常喜樂， 17 不住的禱告， 18 凡事謝恩； 因為這是神在基督耶穌裡向你們所定的旨意。
今天的經文告訴我們“要常常喜樂， 不住的禱告， 凡事謝恩”。這三件的事情不僅僅只是一個建議而已，它們乃是 神在在基督耶穌裡向我們每一個基督徒所定的旨意。儘管這不是 神旨意的全部，但卻是 神旨意非常重要和清楚的一部分。
神希望我們能夠建立一個好的屬靈習慣 - 在每天的生活中有意識地感謝 神。而只有當我們真“曉得萬事都互相效力，叫愛 神的人得益處”時，我們才能凡事謝恩！因為我們相信這位偉大的 神也是愛我們的 神永遠在掌權。祂可以將許多看起來不好的事情，甚至是我們自己的錯誤，變成對我們生命成長有益的東西。因此，凡事謝恩將幫助我們建立一個更深的與主的關係！
你我是否真正希望每天都行在 神的旨意中？那麼，讓我們從常常喜樂， 不住的禱告，凡事謝恩開始！
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
The Bible says in today's passages that "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you". These three exhortations - rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in everything - are not just good advice; they are God's will for every Christian. Even they are not the totality of God's will, they are a clear and important segment of it.
God wants us to be intentional about our thankfulness every day. He wants us to develop this spiritual habit. The truth is, the more deeply you understand the fact that God works everything together for good for those who love Him (Rom. 8:28), the more grateful you’re going to be. We can thank God in every circumstance because we trust that God is in control. He can bring good out of evil. He can turn around the stupid mistakes we’ve made. Being thankful in all circumstances is God’s will because it builds a deeper relationship between you and God.
Do we really want to walk according to God's will daily? Let's begin with joy, prayer and thanksgiving in every circumstance!
