Get the Two Together

As
ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have
been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
– Colossians 2:6-7

Established in the faith and abounding with thanksgiving. These days it seems that's a rare combination.
A
lot of people have been taught faith over the last several years, and a
lot of people have been taught to abound with thanksgiving. But it's
been hard to set the two together. Faith folks want to confess the Word
all the time, but they don't praise God very much. And those who like to
praise God just want to jump and shout and dance and have a good time
in the Lord. You can't get them to get very serious about the Word.
Success comes from combining the two.
So,
do it! Put them together in your life. When you run into a challenge,
don't just stand around grim-faced and white-knuckled holding on to your
faith. Raise your hands high and praise. Start thanking God in the
midst of what's happening around you. Keep thanking Him for the answer
until it comes.
Instead of just standing on the Word, let the joy
of the Lord enable you to dance around on it a little. It will get you
where you're going a whole lot faster...and both you and God will have a
much better time on the way.
