It’s been a while since I’ve sat in this sweet space. Partly because life is pretty full right now and I am processing so much so that I may share it here as God leads, but share things well!

This morning I woke up and read this verse and it gave me the sweetest peace and settled my soul in such a way that simplified so much in this season.

I think many of us have asked this question that I so frequently have asked God, “God what’s Your will for me”?

Many times we have waited and waited for this deep and long blueprint that tells us all the places we will go and and the opportunities we will have, but if we look at the passage of scripture I’m going to share, I think it’ll shift our perspective some. God’s will for us is all the same. The plan in which HE accomplishes His will may be different, however.

God’s will for us is not hidden away for us to figure out through trial and error, and it’s most definitely not this conditional, complicated and confusing concept that we have to unravel.

So what’s His will for us…

You ready for this?

Alright here it goes!

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:16-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Whoa right! Simple yet sooooo profound.

To be honest, it is much easier for me to take on new opportunities and go here and there than it is to ALWAYS be thankful and want to pray continually, oh and rejoice. My flesh has a way of wanting to complain at times when I am distracted and discouraged with the cares of this fallen world.

This morning I am reminded with the sweetest reminder of God’s will for me in Christ Jesus. It’s simple and sweet, yet it requires a purified heart posture and a godly perspective. I’m asking God for that this morning! I always need it. I need His grace, especially in this extremely full season.

Maybe you’ve been asking the same question. Maybe your life feels full or joy and busyness or frustration and burdens. Maybe you have felt confused and are waiting for this answer from God that seems life it would change everything. Maybe you’re losing hope through difficult circumstances and are in need of a promise you can hold on to. Well beloved, please hold on tightly to this verse right here and let God carry and encourage you today through His word.

God knows you. God hears you. His sees you. God loves you. Rejoice always beloved. Pray continually, and give thanks to the Lord.

Be loved.
