“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)
When you are thankful, it opens the door for God to move on your behalf. That’s why it says “this is God’s will for you.” He wants you to be close to Him to receive His strength and power by giving thanks. That’s why we should always have the attitude that says, “God, in spite of what’s happened, I choose to be grateful. I may be sick, but Father, thank You for being my healer. Thank you for giving me great friends and family.” Or, “I may be struggling in my marriage, but God, thank You for being my restorer. Thank You for giving me another sunrise.” As you give thanks in everything, you will see God’s hand move mightily on your behalf, and you’ll come out of that difficulty better, stronger and wiser than before.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, today I choose to give You thanks in all things! I know that You are a good God, and You have good plans in store for my future. I bless You and thank You for another day to sing Your praise in Jesus’ name! Amen.

We were delighted with our first program in our new Resonance series at the Exploratorium, which happened on October 10th. Curated by our own Wayne Grim, the artist featured, Cheryl Leonard, first had a conversation about her music with host Sarah Cahill, and then performed live with fellow musician Phillip Greenlief. They played icicles, dried kelp, penguin bones, limpid shells, sand, rocks, and much more. It was a beautiful and delicate performance, and sounded amazing in our new Kanbar Forum theater.
