"In All Circumstances..."
|
|
 |
|
It is commanded time and again in the Bible. Rejoice in the Lord... Give thanks... Don't complain... And in all of these instances, the commands are applied in all circumstances. While life may bring sorrow and sadness, and while circumstances are always changing, our attitudes toward God are to remain consistent; giving thanks to Him for His goodness, rejoicing in what He has done for us, and resisting the urge to complain! This five-part series explores how to keep a non-complaining, joyful, thankful heart toward God in all circumstances, showing how the right attitude can actually help us through the tough times of life.
