In a world of increasing chaos, people yearn for something to hold onto. The Christmas season reminds us that God Himself invaded human time and space when Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

It’s human nature to want to be in control and to manipulate circumstances in our favor. The Old Testament patriarch Jacob was a schemer who sought to gain every advantage he could. It took a dramatic intervention in his life for him to realize that God was in control, not Jacob. The lesson he learned is our lesson to learn as well.

How can we please God? How can we know His will? At the end of 1 Thessalonians, Paul gives his readers commands to follow—commands we should all follow, including being thankful no matter what. By obeying these commands, we will not only know the will of God, we will also please Him… always!
