How to give thanks in all circumstances
November 24, 2011
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
I heard about an old lady who bowed her head at the table one Thanksgiving and said out loud, “Thank you, Lord, for our food. Amen!”
So her grandson, sitting at the table a few places over turned to her and said, “Grandma, don’t you know that you’ll have that food whether you say thanks or not?”
And she replied, “Well, maybe so, but everything just tastes better when I say thanks!”
It’s true, isn’t it? Life is just better when you acknowledge and give thanks for the blessings you receive. Yet, in today’s world with so much assumption that people are entitled to this or that, that attitude of gratefulness is slowly fading.
The Bible tells you and me to give thanks in every circumstance, not just the good ones. How can we do that? By remembering that even in the worst of circumstances, we have Jesus. Whether you experience poverty, bad health, death, grief, or suffering, you still have Jesus, and He is always more than enough.
So today, and every other day, live your life with an attitude of gratefulness, knowing that in Christ, you have every spiritual blessing you need!
WHATEVER YOUR LIFE’S SITUATION, CULTIVATE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATEFULNESS IN YOUR HEART, APPRECIATING WHAT CHRIST DID FOR YOU AND ALWAYS GIVING THANKS TO GOD.

Discover God’s plan for these last days!
Dear Friend,
When it comes to thinking about the end times, so many questions come to mind: What are the signs of Christ’s coming? What’s God’s plan for me in these days? Does the nation of Israel play a role?
And while these questions can seem daunting, it’s such comfort to know that God has given you and me everything we need to know right in His Word.
So to help you better understand God’s plan for the last days, I want to send you a special end-times ministry combo pack containing my brand new three-message DVD series filmed in Israel called Israel 2011, along with my ten-message CD series called Signs of the Times.
In Israel 2011, I’ll take you right to where Christ’s greatest miracles took place: the empty tomb, the Sea of Galilee, and the Mount of Olives, where you’ll learn about the eternal importance of this ancient land. And in Signs of the Times, I’ll show you how you can know God’s purpose for you in these uncertain days!
This special end-times combo pack is my gift to thank you for your online donation to support the broadcast ministry of PowerPoint. It’s my prayer that these two powerful resources will help you step into the future with confidence and clarity!
And thank you for your gift to impact more lives with the Good News of Jesus Christ. You are truly a blessing!
Jack Graham
