āGive thanks in all circumstances, for this is Godās will for you in Christ Jesus.ā (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)
When you are thankful, it opens the door for God to move on your behalf. Thatās why it says āthis is Godās will for you.ā He wants you to be close to Him to receive His strength and power by giving thanks. Thatās why we should always have the attitude that says, āGod, in spite of whatās happened, I choose to be grateful. I may be sick, but Father, thank You for being my healer. Thank you for giving me great friends and family.ā Or, āI may be struggling in my marriage, but God, thank You for being my restorer. Thank You for giving me another sunrise.ā As you give thanks in everything, you will see Godās hand move mightily on your behalf, and youāll come out of that difficulty better, stronger and wiser than before.
