Thankfulness is not an occasional act but a lifestyle of intentional and spontaneous appreciation that leads us into the presence of God, empowers us to be grateful in all circumstances, and generates an overflow of generosity.



Have you ever wanted to know what God’s will is for you?
God’s desire, His express will for us, is to actually live a lifestyle of thanksgiving.

"Thanksgiving really should be ‘Thanksliving’—a way of life—day in, day out, morning, noon, and night— continually, forever giving thanks to the Lord" – Nancy Leigh DeMoss


we are to give thanks IN all circumstances NOT “for” all circumstances.

Evil, injustice, and cruelty exist every day in this world. Scripture never instructs us to give thanks for wicked, immoral, and sinful circumstances but to give thanks in them.


“Give Thanks” “IN ALL” “Circumstances”


GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US
Giving thanks is an act of faith! We have to “see” beyond our circumstances. Instead of walking by sight, we walk by faith and look to Jesus.

Jesus understands what we are going through
The Holy Spirit is in us, comforting, encouraging, and strengthening us.
We all will experience trials, tribulations, pain, and loss of loved ones. The difference is that those who trust in Jesus can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding because we have an Advocate Who has gone before us and endured ALL things and has conquered and defeated sin and death and has given us the gift of God’s own Holy Spirit to live in us and give us His peace! Those without Christ will never be able to understand or experience this type of peace unless they experience God’s love for us by trusting in His Son for Salvation! - Pastor Todd Cox


“Life can be hard, and circumstances can be unflinchingly difficult. But just as God told Joshua, God tells us that we need not despair. God is with us and goes ahead of us in every danger and challenge we face. Nothing can take him by surprise or catch him off guard. What good news to know that God will never abandon those who trust in him alone!” (Beyond Suffering Bible [n.p.: Joni and Friends, 2016]).
