Pizza Ranch Serves

The 3rd action we are looking at in Paul’s list of instructions for living in the will of God instead the ways of the world is "give thanks in all circumstances". Paul didn’t write “Give thanks in the good times” or “Give thanks in successful times”. No, he wrote “Give thanks in ALL circumstances.”

At Pizza Ranch we work hard to live out our vision – to glorify God by positively impacting the world. One way Pizza Ranch seeks to put this vision into action is through our coffee program with Tesfa Foundation. Pizza Ranch sources all its’ coffee through Tesfa Foundation to fund education for students at 3 different schools in Ethiopia. Tesfa Foundation began back in 2004 and has been partnered with Pizza Ranch since 2013.

We are called to pray continually, or as some versions put it – pray without ceasing. But Paul's letter to the Thessalonians is not the only time we are instructed to pray; we see this command that all throughout scripture.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Paul gave 3 actions we are called to live out that will help us follow the will of God instead of the way of the world. “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”. Today we are going to begin by looking at the command to "Rejoice Always".

It can be easy to be stirred to worship when you stand and witness the beauty of God’s creation. In fact, Psalm 8 talks about that specifically. But God’s creation is so much more than flowers, and trees, and waterfalls, and sunrises. God’s creation is everything – time, language, culture, mathematical processes, and of course Mankind. God created humans with passions, talents, and gifts. When we get to see the people around us using the passions and gift’s God has given them that is “All Creation Singing God’s Glory!”

We’ve been walking slowly through the Book of Psalms, this week looking at Psalms 25. It’s a passage from David as he pleads for deliverance and forgiveness. It also happens to include my High School class verse from 40 years ago.

In a recent daily devotional from the You Version Bible app was this verse and a beautiful pray praising God. Thank you to You Version for their daily devotions that remind me to start my day off praising God!
