Thanksgiving in all circumstances: “In everything give thanks. . .” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). But do you thank God you lost your job or you’re not well? You can be grateful He knows, will provide for your needs, and is at work on your behalf. The remainder of verse eighteen says why we should give thanks in everything: “for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Thankfulness is an obligation that God expects, wants from us. Yielding to His rule is vital to our spiritual health and growth as He works in and through His children, preparing us for heaven.
Ask your Father to remind you of His goodness towards you, and as He reminds you of one blessing after another, thank Him for His greatness, promises, faithfulness, and salvation from sin's penalty. He knows your limitations, your life’s challenges ahead, the mistakes you will make, and the consequences that will follow. But no matter what comes your way or how seriously you may fail, you can give thanks to God in everything.
