  September 29th Note
  
  God gives us a very clear command in 1 Thess. 5:16-18. He says to, “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The Holy Spirit through Paul is telling us that we can have a true joy no matter what is happening in our lives, whether it’s the highest of highs, or the lowest of lows. We can thank God for the ultimate source of joy, his Son, our Savior.
