GIVE THANKS!
1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Devotional
1 Thessalonians 5:18
“In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.“
Giving thanks should not be a once-a-year thing. As members of God’s family we are to be thankful at all times. We should live a life of gratitude. It is not our prerogative to choose when and what we will be thankful for.
In today’s Scripture, we are admonished to always be ready and eager to give thanks, not only that, we are to give thanks for everything. Do you frequently look as though you have been baptized in vinegar? That, my dear friend, is not having an attitude of thankfulness.
How is your prayer life? That is another embarrassing question for many of us. We need to be ready at all times to speak to the Lord in prayer? It is a discipline that we need to pursue.
Here is what the Lord expects of us: In everything give thanks. Chew on that while you are munching on your sumptuous dinner. What if you had little or nothing to eat? Would you still give thanks? That is exactly the Lord’s will in any and every circumstance. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
