Memory Verse of the Week

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to memorize a Bible verse every week.

Here is this week's verse:

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Here is the context/passage it comes from:

1 Thessalonians 5:15-22:

Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.
