16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
God wants us to be thankful and to give thanks at all times and in all circumstances. Rejoice at all times and in all situations, not just when the sun is warm on your face, and the wind is to your back, but even when the rain is coming down, and you have no umbrella. Rejoice even to the confiscation of your goods as the early Christians did, for great is your reward.
That does not mean praying only when you need something or when difficult times are upon you. Using God as a “Get out of jail free” card. This is the crutch of the whole matter, giving thanks—the act of thanksgiving. Again, we don’t wait for everything to go right to give thanks. We don’t stop giving thanks because life has thrown us a curve ball. To give thanks is the will of God. Therefore, be thankful, and enjoy the benefits. And may you have a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Enjoy Thanksgiving Benefits.
