Leviticus 22:29 (KJ21)
And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.

Leviticus 22:29 (NAS)
And when you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it so that you may be accepted.

Leviticus 22:29 (NIVUS)
When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.

Leviticus 22:29 (NLT)
When you bring a thanksgiving offering to the LORD, it must be sacrificed properly so it will be accepted on your behalf.

You have had times when circumstances were just not going your way. In this you are not alone; everyone faces discouraging or bad times. What you choose to do during these times is very important to how you get through them.

You must realize that you are not alone. Jehovah the Lord God has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. Knowing this will help you maintain a thankful attitude. This may be a sacrifice for you, but it is essential to your well being.

During these times, you should also let your words line up with God's word. Confessing what God has told you in His word, the Bible, will help to keep your faith strong. Faith is the most powerful weapon that you have in overcoming discouragement.

It is always appropriate to offer praise and thanksgiving to Adonai, your Creator and your Lord. As the most powerful and Almighty being, He is worthy of your praises. When you desire to praise and thank God, you will find His favor, acceptance, and good will. When you do this, it will be easier for you to get through the hard times. And when you think about it, the Lord is the only One with the means to change things for you.

Therefore, decide today to always have a thankful heart. Your life will be enriched if you do.
