God's Will = 3 be's

Always be joyful.
Keep on praying.
No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 1 Thess 5:16 - 18NLT

The simplicity of God’s will is laid out in these verses; be joyful, be praying, and be thankful. We make the mystery of God’s will for our lives so hard. However, these three “be’s” are essential for staying in a relational mindset (attitude), ready to listen.

Attitude is not automatic.

The three be’s help us transform our minds (Rom. 12:2) toward knowing God. It’s who we know, then what/why we do it that matters to God.

Thank you for this reminder. I needed this tidbit, as we are in search of God's Will in certain areas of our lives.
Hope your week is going great!
