I love the simplicity of this verse. Sometimes we make finding God's will into this big mysterious quest. There are seasons where God leads us into the unknown and asks us to trust Him as we make big risks. Sometimes finding the will of God seems like a cosmic treasure hunt. However, sometimes knowing and doing the will of God is as simple as giving thanks. If you're struggling with whether or not you're in God's will, start here. Give thanks in all circumstances. In a rough spot? Find something to be thankful for. On top of the world? Don't take it for granted...give thanks. When you do, you'll be doing God's will.
Today I'm thankful for my family. I'm thankful for something like baseball that gives us special memories. I'm thankful for ups and downs, good times and hard times, and for the stories that lie ahead.
I'm also thankful for the Astros being in the World Series, too, but that's probably for a different post.
