Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
NLT Bible
It's very easy to be thankful when things are running smoothly and life is going according to our plans. The bills are all paid, the children are well, everything at work is good, personal relationships are fine, no one is sick and generally speaking, life is great. However, the true test of our faith and what we're really made of show when things go amiss.
Suddenly, we're faced with mounting debt, a family member is gravely ill, a child is in crisis and the list goes on and on. This verse tells us we're to be thankful in all things, whether good or bad. This, in effect, is God's will for those of us who belong to Him. Things will always try to derail us, but come what may, we are to give God thanks.
Thank you Lord for everything. Things aren't going well and I'm feeling overwhelmed, but I praise and thank You. I don't understand why I'm facing this but I trust You. I love you, Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
