‘‘Give thanks in all circumstances, for
this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.’’ 1 Thessalonians 5:18
A woman once told me that she can go all the way to do
things for her younger son but she cannot see herself going the extra mile for
her older son. She even said that her younger son has a way of getting things
from her because he appreciates whatever is given to him.
Thank you is a word of appreciation that usually comes
from the depth of the heart. It is a response to something done that is so
unique and comes from a thoughtful heart. It is the acceptance of what is been
done with joy and excitement and gratitude. Thank you is a way of recognizing
the love that is been expressed and placing value on the love received.
We are to give thanks in every circumstance so that we
do not complain to God or to someone else. Whether the circumstance is pleasant
or unpleasant, all that matters is for us to find reasons to say thank you. It
helps us accept whatsoever that comes our way in good faith without
premonitions in our hearts. It helps us see more of God behind every event that
comes our way than evil that comes from men or the devil.
The will of God for us is to say thank you in all
circumstances. Why will this be the will of God? He wants us to be happy and
appreciative. He wants us to recognize him in control of our daily lives so
that only him will take the glory.
When
we give thanks we enthrone God in the most important place in our heart and we
recognize no other power or authority or being above Him.
