TOTD, November 18 – Give Thanks in All Circumstances

Give Thanks in All Circumstances

It’s so easy to give thanks to the Lord when we’re happy and successful. When we got promotion, when we passed the exams with flying colors, when we got what we want. But even in those happy times, sadly: God has sometimes been forgotten. We’re too overwhelmed by those wonderful feelings and forgot to thank the One who gave us all of that.

If it’s the other way around: what if things are pretty bad. They’re not going our ways, we fail in business, or we had some financial difficulties, etc. Are we still able to see His Goodness with a grateful heart? Can we still give thanks to the Lord? Let’s start to give thanks to Him in all circumstances. (-fon-)

give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

--- 1 Thessalonians 5:18
