My wife, Debbie, loves to make “to do” lists. It gives her great satisfaction to mark items off her list. I’ve even seen her add a completed task to her list, just to get the thrill of marking through it.  Listen, in the Christian life, God has a “to do” list for us. It’s a list of three things that we need to constantly do.  Number 1. Rejoice always. No matter what is happening, the right response is to “rejoice in the Lord.”  Number 2. Pray without ceasing. Start your day off calling upon the Lord—and never hanging up the phone. Involve Him in every situation. And 3. In everything give thanks. Thanksgiving tells God you know He is over every circumstance and believe He will work all things together for your good and His glory. Rejoice in the Lord, pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks. Write these three items on your daily “to do” list and never mark them off. It is in doing God’s Word where we find REAL HOPE.
