Give Thanks Always



It’s hard to believe, and it’s even harder to practice. Yet God asks us to believe it and to practice it.

What?

Giving thanks always! Always? Yes, always.

Here it is:

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

It’s true that there is always something for which to be thankful, even in bad circumstances. It’s true because it’s rooted in who God is and how he works, especially working in the bad to bring good.

At the most basic level, we should be thankful no matter what. Every breath you take today is a gift from God. May each exhalation be a brief but powerful praise, a "thank you" to the giver of life, no matter what circumstance you find yourself in today.

Thank you Lord!
