In Everything Give Thanks

         
  In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16)

  Have you giving thanks to God today? You should.

  Sometimes  life doesn't go our way there is no excuse. The Word of God clearly says that God's will for you is to be thankful -- always.

The Word of God does NOT teach that we're to thank God for evil, because God is not responsible for evil. No, God is not guilty of any wrongdoing.

What the Word does teach, is that we should always be thankful   even when evil happens. Being thankful is part of an attitude of faith, and faith will overcome evil. Look at Job  he said naked did I come into this world and naked shall I leave, everything I have is GOd's anyway. There is a man who had a right if any man to feel upset with what was happening to him. The Hebrew bible tells that Job was an upright man, this is how God himself identified Job, yet Job had struggles would be to put it lightly he lost it all and even his wife turned her back on this man.



God doesn't do bad things to people. He's not the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. That's the devil, and people motivated by selfishness and demonic influence. So you have the devil "to thank" for the bad things in life.

Yet, during the bad things in life, we are to continue thanking God, no matter how we feel. This helps us keep our eyes on God and keep things in perspective.

No matter how dark and hopeless the situation may look give thanks. This is God's will for you.
