Thankful Thursday

1 Thessalonians 5:18 "In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" 

For a majority of the people in Mississippi and surrounding states, this week has been eventful. Although we should give thanks to God everyday for His protection from things that we will never know He blocked, we should definitely thank Him for sparing us against the things we saw coming. Words cannot explain how grateful I am for the safety of all those who survived those storms neither can words explain the empathy I feel for those who lost their loved ones in those same storms. 

It is times like these that we have to take a step back to put things into perspective. It is not a time to question God instead we must seek God's hand in it all. This scripture says in EVERYTHING give thanks because everything that happens is the will of God concerning you! Therefore every storm has a purpose and you survived it because you are apart of that purpose!  

Check your prayer log...perhaps it was someone else's prayers that saved you. Even in a storm like that God is in control and He has a plan. No matter what or who was taken away from you in your storm YOU are still here and for that you must be grateful. 

Thank God in the midst of your storm because just as there is an entrance there is an exit.
