1 Thessalonians 5.18 says, And everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. I see people thanking God many times in the Bible. Eight times it is Paul who gives thanks, even though he's been locked up, beat up, shipwrecked, and many other things have been done to him. I look around at all of us today who have been given so much, but complain so much and are not appreciative of all that God has given to us. Yes, it is close to Thanksgiving, but the Bible says we should be giving thanks all the time, even in the tough times. Are you complaining or thanking?
