Give Thanks Anyway


Eph. 5:20 “giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”- 

The thought of giving thanks for everything that happens is our life seems to be beyond reasonable. So many things in life happen to us that are unpleasant and un wanted. To say “Thank you” in the face of it difficult circumstance and ugly situations can only be done if one believes in the providence of God and His power of being in full control of all things. Giving thanks for the good is never a problem with most people, but to give thanks for the bad take something super natural, something that is beyond human ability. A life that is completely surrender and under control by the Holy Spirit is filled with God’s power and grace to stand in the face of unwanted events and say “Thanks you God, I don’t know why you allowed this to happen, but for some reason you are doing it for my good, and I want to thank you for this” Not possible? Right! But, with God all things are possible.
