18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18
Paul didn’t say to be thankful for all things but in all things. We might have been in a bad car accident, but praise the LORD, we are thankful that we are all fine and no causalities. We find the good in bad situations. Without thankfulness, bad situations will take hold of us, and grief, fear, depression, anger, and every other negative emotion will consume us until we are a slave to them.
That’s why God’s will for us is to be thankful and grateful. That’s why He has incorporated all of the benefits in that one little action or attitude. That of being Thankful/Grateful. So that we can never be lost to the darkness but instead grow in His precious and holy light.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Find the Good.
