THE PILGRIMS GUIDE THURSDAY DECEMBER 18, 2025 'THANKSLIVING' AS GOD'S WILL A WORD FROM THE WORD: "In every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18 YLT. In our foundational text we hear Paul, the apostle, by the Holy Spirit's inspiration telling us to 'in everything give thanks.' That is a call to go deeper, and I perceive, live a life of Thanksgiving. You should endeavour to, on regular basis see reasons for giving thanks to God, no matter how unseeming things and circumstances are with you. The fact that you are alive is a blessing and miracle. Begin your day with thanking God for all the things He has done for you previously and then praise Him for His blessings. Give Him thanks for your expectations from Him that will change the whole course of your day for good. When you concentrate on your blessings and not on your problems, your whole spirit will be lifted, and that enables you to face your day with a victor's mindset. As soon as you realise how much God has given you and how blessed you truly are, and revel in thanksgiving, it’s life changing, and saturates you with the warmth of God’s love. Begin your day with thanksgiving, and the attendant attitude of gratitude will encapsulate your whole being, and you’ll enjoy God’s sweet peace all day/life long. PRAYER BULLETS: LORD Jesus, thank You for the privilege of Your mercy and grace. I desire to live a life of giving thanks to You in every situation and all circumstances of my life. Help me.
