16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, New International Version)
Theme: Rejoicing and Thanksgiving
Thanks for making the past week another special time of growing together. Today is dedicated to reviewing what we have learned over the past five days about how the disciplines of Worship and Fellowship can enable a life of Rejoicing and Thanksgiving.
If you have not had a chance to review the comments for each day, I encourage you to do so.
Question:
What key takeaways are you most likely to apply from this week’s discussions?
Please leave a comment. We would love to hear from you.

This week’s lessons only confirm that any time, any place, and any circumstance, are opportunities for us to worship and be thankful and happy for God’s goodness in our lives,

For me this week’s take away from the lesson is this: “ When we worship God, make sure the focus is really on Him, not on our circumstances, feelings or on ourselves, as these things can really distract us from experiencing true fellowship with Christ, our Lord.

Key takeaway is that to rejoice and prayer continually in all circumstances is other worldly. As fallen creatures, we do have the inability to have this attitude on our own. But if we obey Christ, He will live thru us and we have all the peace, joy, serenity in any circumstance.

We should give Thanks continually and not always ask God for favors.
Just being alive with food and shelter and his grace uis sufficient to rejoice.
