In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
"In every thing" not only for good jobs, wonderful family, and 'blessings' but can I give thanks when there are empty chairs in ministry, when there are many who fail to step forward, when I become ill, when my loved ones face hard times, when I don't excel well, when I don't get acknowledged for the good work, when I don't get a pat on the shoulder, when there is still a lot of work undone??
HolySpirit commands us in everything give thanks because it is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us. God chose us in Christ before we were born or the creation of this world, despite who or what we are because Christ paid for us in FULL on the cross. Jesus he continues to work every day, in our life. Let us say boldly All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). For every concern bothering us today shall we then say "thank you"?
