Refreshing for the Day
Thus, one of the secrets to living a happy life is ‘being thankful to God’. We must develop a habit of purposely being thankful to God for everything He has done in our lives, even to the smallest detail (1 Thess 5:18). We don’t thank God only when good and the big things happened, we also thank Him when the bad and little things happened. This is how it works; when you begin to thank God, God will take away every ugly situation and problem in your life and give you peace, endless joy, and happiness (Phil 4:7). So beloved, regardless of what is happening around you, learn to thank God at all times. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
The greatest thing we can be thankful for is God—that we know Him and that He sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins!
Responsibility
So, learn to always thank God, in good times and in bad times.
