| Three Essentials |
| How predictable we are! |
| When things go well we rejoice — but forget to pray. |
| When things get rough we stop rejoicing — but suddenly remember to pray. |
| Too often we forget to give thanks in either situation. Let’s remember the three exhortations of Paul in writing to the believers in the city of Thessalonika: |
| 1. “Rejoice evermore” (1Thessalonians 5:16). |
| 2. “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). |
| 3. “In everything give thanks” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). |
| These are three essential elements for a happy Christian life and walk with the Lord. We are not immune to problems and difficulties but we have a wonderful and full resource in the Lord Jesus Christ, so that we can truly rejoice, pray and give thanks, no matter what happens — not just once in awhile, but all the time. |
