Last Thursday, during small group, we talked about Eph 5:20 - Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Did you notice that "for" in there? It doesn't say that we should give thanks in all things. Nope. It says that we should give thanks for all things.
That's a tough one. Cancer? Murder? War?
Frankly, I don't have a pat answer. But I do have some thoughts.
Rom 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
He is the One Who knows the end from the beginning and I trust Him. He is able to do what He said He will do, and His thoughts toward you and me are good.
Jer 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given 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"
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"
