1 Thessalonians 5:12-22
How thankful are you? If we think of Thanksgiving we often view it as a time to give thanks for what God has provided. For most of us, most of the time, we are thankful for all the good things in life. We are thankful for the inventions that make life easier, for family, health and food plus many other nice things, but, what about the bad events, the loss of dreams, health or family? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 tells us to be thankful in all things. True thankfulness finds its satisfaction in the fact that God knows everything and that God will work His perfect will based on His perfect love. A perfect example of this is the death of Jesus to pay for sin. The darkness of His death brought the light of hope through the salvation that God now offered through Jesus. Let us live a life of hope in Christ regardless of circumstances. Let us be truly joyful, always praying and completely thankful. Our thanks will draw us to praise God and our prayer will cause us to see even more things to thank God for. So, let us give thanks in all things as 1 Thessalonians 5:18 states, because thankfulness shows acceptance of God’s will even if it is not understood. Our thanks is an expression of faith and hope in God, regardless of the situation that we face.
