1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV
God requires us all to give thanks in all circumstances. One might say that it is easier said than done. However when we become mature in Christ and have a full understanding of Who God is and how He works, this becomes fairly easy. This is because understanding God more and developing a close relationship with God enables us to serve God for who He is rather than what He does for us or what He can give us.
What good is it to give thanks to God if we only do it when it suits us and when all is well with us?
Which is why we should remember that we are giving thanks IN the circumstance not for the circumstance
For prayer and reflection:
Dear Lord, please give me the courage to give thanks to you in whatever situation I may find myself.
Amen
