1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV — In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 09 May 2024
Many people who follow Jesus struggle to understand how it would be the will of Jehovah to give thanks even when the situation does not seem to warrant it. Note that scripture doesn’t say you should thank God for those unsavoury situations that you encounter in life, but that even in those situations you have a good reason to be thankful to Jehovah. This is the great enigma of faith in Christ. It shows how deep you know your God and your conviction that, no matter the situation, God loves you unreservedly beyond measure and nothing can separate you from that love, not even the most terrible and inconceivable afflictions. When you are able to do this, Jehovah is pleased with you and will cause you to be strengthened in your inner man. I implore you to develop the habit of giving thanks to God always and you will discover how rewarding it is.
Pray: Most Excellent Jehovah, I thank You for Your love that cannot be quenched. Help me to trust You always. #Mok
