Have you ever wondered, “What does God want me to do?” Sometimes that feels like a big mystery, especially for huge decisions. But guess what? The Bible tells us three things God always wants from us, no mystery at all. And they’re written right here in today’s verse!

First, “rejoice always”. That means choose joy and stay glad about God. Second, “pray without ceasing”. That means keep talking to God all through your day. Third, “in everything give thanks”. That means find things to be thankful for, even on hard days.

Joy, prayer, and thankfulness! These three are like signs that God’s Holy Spirit is alive and working in your heart. When the Spirit is leading you, these things naturally start to show up in your life.

The cool thing is, you don’t have to wait around to figure out God’s will to start living it. You can do all three of these today! Choose to be joyful, talk to God, and say thank you. That’s living exactly how God wants you to.

Think About It: Check your three “God’s will” signs today! Are you choosing joy, even about little things? Are you talking to God during your day? Are you finding things to be thankful for? Pick whichever one is hardest for you right now and focus on it today. For example, if thankfulness is tough, name three things you’re grateful for right now. You’re living out exactly what God wants!
