Giving Thanks All the Time

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5 [18] give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Observation: Knowing God’s will is everything and this is another verse that shows you what His will in our lives. It is not easy however to give thanks in all circumstances usually I get angry first then disappointed and think poor me if it’s a bad situation before thinking of giving thanks, which I seldom do. In the good moments I’m so busy enjoying something wonderful I forget to give thanks because I’m thinking of me and how I feel. It’s amazing I’m always correcting my grandchildren if I give them something to make sure they say, “thank You.” And what I give is nothing in comparison of what God gives me each day.

Application: Realize I deserve nothing from God accept punishment for the way I am, but out of His love He still blesses me. When circumstances are bad God gets me through. He deserves my thanks and love no matter what, because He gave me His love first.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for each day you allow me to have. Every good things comes from you and when I receive bad You get me through. Open my eyes in each situation to what You desire me to learn from it and I thank you in advance for all You do.
