Give Thanks

1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

In today’s world I am afraid we have become so accustomed to the blessings of the Lord that we take them for granted. Even children today are so accustomed to getting stuff that they are not grateful for what they receive. They receive more in one month than we used to receive in a whole year and I for one was grateful for everything I got.

Now the ungratefulness has grown with the children and it seems there are not a lot of grateful folks left. But there are still a few that are grateful and give thanks for everything the good and bad alike as our scripture tells us.

I know it is easy to give thanks for the good in your life, but Paul tells the folks at

Thessalonica to give thanks in every thing. Not just the good but the not so good. It is hard to give thanks in times of trouble and when bad things come our way but we should as I read the scripture as it says “in every thing “. If you don’t give thanks for the good I doubt that you will give thanks for the no so good. But remember this scripture when bad times come your way and it will make it easier to give thanks

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

We need to give thanks in everything as scripture says, if you aren’t may I suggest that you start. You never know what God may do with those bad things that come your way.

Have a great day
