Be thankful for what we have

ChristianLiving

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.

Some encouragement I think God is reminding me on Sunday morning.

I was scrolling through YouTube and saw a video from Ps Craig Groeschel, that shares a bit about the 80-20 rule, it's kinda common about 20% effort to produce 80% outcome, but then he shares that, in our life, we have the 80% good things, but we complain about the 20%.

Then I went to church, the song leader encouraged us to be thankful with what God has given us.

I think God is reminding me not to be anxious about things, but trust in Him and come to Him with a thankful heart.

Can you all share some experiences where you have some confirmation or encouragement from God?

It could be coincidence for some of you, but I believe God has His plans and it's not just a coincidence when things happen. (Like in the book of Esther, lots of "coincidence".)
