There's Always a Reason

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

Have you ever had a day, week, or MONTH when you just found it extremely hard to be thankful due to the circumstances you were faced with? I've got news for you, no circumstance should ever cause you to feel like you can't be thankful for the day that the Lord has made. There is nothing that you, who are a faithful warrior, cannot endure ESPECIALLY if you've been lead by God and here's why. Tomorrow is the Friday before Easter Sunday (Good Friday). Well over 2000 years ago on this day Jesus (the Son of God) was nailed to the cross that He carried for YOU. There is no obstacle or circumstance in your lifetime that you will face that can compare the the pain, suffering, and humiliation that He endured for YOU. If there was a reason for His suffering, is there not a reason for your suffering?  Is that not enough for you to ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be thankful?  At no point during Jesus' suffering did He doubt God or withdraw Himself from the plan of God, so why should you? He trusted that He had done everything that He was supposed to do in order to fulfill His purpose and because of that obedience He knew God would do His part as well. Was the experience easy? No. Was it worth it? Certainly. Jesus defeated the grave something that had not been done and has not been done since then. So ask yourself, am I doing everything that God has told me to do? If you are then don't fret. Acknowledge God in the midst of your circumstance with immense gratitude.  We weren't called to defeat the grave, but we are surely capable of defeating our circumstances.

 There's ALWAYS a Reason...Jesus is the reason!!!
