Matthew 5:14-16 (ESV) You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

06 A Thanksgiving Reflection: Rejoice, Pray, and Give Thanks

What does rejoice, pray continually, and give thanks have in common?

Here's a hint: They are listed in a well-known verse we always hear in November.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Paul writes: "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Three simple but sometimes hard commands to live by:

1. Rejoice always

2. Pray without ceasing

3. Give thanks in all circumstances

In today's episode, Missy talks about these three commands and encourages listeners to create a list of things they are thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving! And remember to live boldly for Jesus and let your light shine bright for Him!
