Hi famz! 👋 It’s Throwback Thursday! Here’s a little throwback for our last Sunday’s Worship Service, we were reminded to stay GRATEFUL ANYWAY with Pastor Jp Arsola .
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Introduction:
We often focus on what we don't have, what hasn't happened, and what God hasn't done yet. But Paul reminds us: “In everything give thanks.” Gratitude doesn't mean everything is good; it means we recognize that God is still good, even when life isn't.
1. Gratitude Changes What We See
Gratitude shifts our focus from what is missing to what God has already done. We may not have everything we want, but we still have God's presence, provision, grace, and faithfulness.
Sometimes the miracle is not what God gives us, but how faithfully He sustains us.
2. Gratitude Changes How We Walk
Gratitude is not based on circumstances; it is rooted in who God is. Like Paul and Silas who worshiped in prison before their breakthrough, we can choose to praise God even while we're still waiting.
Don't wait for the breakthrough before you worship. Worship while you wait.
Closing:
Life may not always be good, but God is always good. The season may change, but His faithfulness remains.
So don't only count your problems—count your blessings. Don't only remember what you lost—remember what God has done.
Whatever season you're in, make this your declaration: “I may not understand everything, but I trust You. I may not have everything I want, but I am thankful for what I have. Whatever happens, I will remain grateful—anyway.”
