1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Paul doesn’t say to only give thanks when things are going well. Or give thanks when we are in the mood. He doesn’t say, give thanks only when we are in church or at Bible study. Nope. He said, “in EVERYTHING”!
Why?
Because it is the will of God in Christ Jesus for us. There is no other reason other than it being God’s will.
That is reason enough.
This is a nice little reminder today to not put off our thankfulness for when we FEEL like it, or when we have received our answer from God. But to stop what we are doing and give Him thanks, love on Him and show Him how grateful we are.
There will always be some situation or someone that will try to keep us from being thankful. But that is not going to stop us today. We are going to be thankful anyway. Amen.
