It Starts Small

It might be a bit dated, but do you all recall the Movie (or read the book) Eat, Pray, Love. It depicted a woman’s journey across the globe. During the journey, she finds pleasure in nourishment, power in prayer, and finally inner peace.

I think God’s answer to everything is found in today’s scripture.

Rejoice always
Pray Continually
Give Thanks

It really is a easy way to prioritize our devotional lives and receive the discernment and peace needed as we search for God in all circumstances. When we have continual focus on rejoicing, praying, and giving, we will be nourished by God and intimately connected to Him. We will have that inner peace.

This also keeps our focus on Him and not on the many distractions or false voices trying to lead us away from Him.

Thoughts to Ponder:

• How does rejoicing help during difficult and peaceful times?
• How does praying help during difficult and peaceful times?
• How does giving thanks help during difficult and peaceful times?
• How can these three focuses bring you closer to Jesus?
