1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
We are to not only be thankful for the work God has given us to perform on this side of heaven, but we are to be thankful for EVERYTHING. Remember every trial has a purpose and it won’t last. Take heart. God is with you. Always and forever.
Being reminded that God is with me is wonderful, especially when I can share that with others who are going through.
I am loving your summer devotionals – short, sweet and HOLY!!! Amen!
The way I read this is to. E thankful IN all circumstances but not FOR them. We stay focused on God and His purpose when we are in a spirit of thankfulness. I was not thanking God for cancer and death but I was thankful for his presence and providence in the circumstance. He kept me positive .
