In Everything Give Thanks

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

                            I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart. I will recount all of your wonderful deeds - Psalm 9:1. It is easy to thank God for all His goodness and blessings when everything goes well. But God expects us to give thanks in everything. Having a thankful heart for everything is God’s will for us. Give thanks to God no matter what happens as it is the will of God. God can turn any trouble into a blessing.

                               Whenever we feel anxious about any situation, let us begin thanking God with our requests and God’s peace will guard our hearts and minds. Submit all the situations to God with thanksgiving. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus - Philippians 4:6.

                              Job thanked God even when he lost everything. He also did not sin with his lips. God gave Job twice as much as blessings as he had before. God is good all the time. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks in everything - Colossians 3:17. Instead of grumbling and complaining about the situation, let us choose to thank God for it. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him and bless His name - Psalm 100:4.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for all Your goodness in our life. Help us to be thankful in everything as this is Your will for us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
