The Pleasures of Being Thankful

Have you ever had one of those days when there was so much confusion whirling around your head that you felt like screaming, STOP? At that point, all you want to do is tear into or react to someone in an ugly way, or get depressed, go to bed, and forget about it all. But rather than throw in the towel and give way to your emotions, why not stop right now and decide to let the Word of God rule you today? Let the peace of God rule in your heart as the Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians, Chapter 3, verse 15. It says, “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in one body, and be thankful.”

Did you notice that last word, thankful? When everything around is in disarray, be thankful. The attitude of thankfulness will dissolve the confusion, right the wrong, straighten the crooked, and bring peace to the turmoil. So, why sweat it? Just be thankful.
