Give Thanks
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
We all wish we knew the will of God for every area of our life. We wish that God talks to us and shares His will for our lives. But little we are aware that He has already shared His will with us, in His Word.
Today's passage clearly says what is the will of God. Giving thanks in everything.
When you give thanks to your LORD Jesus Christ and to God the Father, you are acknowledging in faith that He is the giver of all good and perfect things in your life.
You only thank someone when they do something good for you.
Bible says in James 1:17 that every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.
So all good things you have, believe it or not, is a gift from your Father in heaven. Your family, your job, your house, car and countless other good things which Father God gives to you everyday.
Sometimes Father God gives the good gifts to you as an answer to your prayer, sometimes without even asking you receive good things.
When you forget to give thanks, you indirectly not acknowledging that these good things are not from Father God.
That is why it is important that you give thanks to Father God in everything at all times, because He keeps on doing good to you.
You don't just thank Him because He is doing good to you, you thank Him mainly because that is His will.
Today take a moment from all your busy schedule and spend a few minutes thanking your God who is also your Father in heaven.
