always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
Now, if you have experienced the peace that comes from giving thanks to God in all thing, don’t be surprised if people label you a simpleton when crisis comes and you confidently tell those who are worrying that your hope remains in God. Such naysayers find only a pseudo peace when situations are going smoothly for you see, this pseudo peace is theirs only when they can maintain a measure of control
But in faith, we can let go of our desire to control situations because we realize that nothing happens to us without it first passing through the hands of God, so that come what may, we know that there will always be a way to experience His love in and through the situation.
So in closing, let me leave you with this thought:
You ability to give thanks in all things is proportional to your belief in God’s sovereignty.
Thank about that.
