When we look at our lives, believe me there is always something to be grateful for. The mere fact that the Lord has blessed us with breath is something to be thankful for. Paul is telling us know to always be thankful no matter what is happening around you or within you. Give thanks to God. It is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Therefore it is God's will magnified through Jesus Christ for you to give thanks to Him.
Before we can become negative, think on God's blessings and what His will is for you and lift your hands up and say "Lord, I thank you!"
Why would God want us to give Him thanks? It's because when we take our eyes off our circumstances, we can truly praise Him for what He has done for us. We can stop focusing on the negative in our lives and focus on the positive. When we focus on the positive it brings us joy and some peace of mind from the knowledge that God loves us enough to bless us, in spite of.
Give thanks with a grateful heart, give thanks to the Holy one, give thanks because He has given us Jesus Christ his son. And now let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am rich because of what the Lord has done for us, Give thanks!
God bless you and share this with a friend. Thank you!
