This verse is one that I've noticed in the past couple of days and I don't believe we obey it. 'In everything' means when the care breaks down, it's raining and we're late for work - give thanks. When we have two sick kids an company coming - give thanks. When the toughest teacher in the university is assigned to your class - give thanks. This isn't because God wants us randomly saying "Thank you", but because we know - or we should know - that God is in control, He knew it would happen and He still knows what's happening. We can give thanks for that at least. And, once we start giving thanks, it's easy to keep going and find reasons to!Erika Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084938777455109138noreply@blogger.com
