Rejoice, be thankful, & receive!!
 “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say REJOICE”. No matter what your circumstances, good or bad, always rejoice in the Lord: if your circumstance is good, rejoice that the Lord has blessed you; if your circumstance is bad, rejoice that the Lord will be with you knowing that all things work for good for those who love the Lord and are called according unto His purpose!!
Always be thankful!! Thankful that the Lord loves you no matter what; thankful for His goodness, His salvation, His healing, His provision, His protection, His peace, His joy, His patience, His gentleness, and ALL of His many promises and blessings! Be thankful that “your God shall supply ALL your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. The more thankful you are, the more God will give you to be thankful about!!
We all have so many reasons to rejoice and be thankful that we can’t count them all!! God is so Faithful to give us His many blessings. The question now is do you have enough faith to receive all that God has in store for you. The many gifts that God has in store for you won’t do you much good if you never believe and trust in Him by faith to deliver all that He has for you!! You will receive and never lack in anything if you ask in faith, not wavering or doubting. “For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord”!! Believing you will receive one minute and doubting in the next minute is being “double minded”. “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:4-8) So, receive, rejoice, and be thankful today in steadfast faith!!
Blessings, Pastor Lynn
