I Thessalonians 5: 16-18

 "Rejoice always, pray always, give thanks in all things; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you."

Rejoice, Pray, And Be Grateful Always in God Dear reader and blessed by God, of course in this life when we give thanks it must be something that is easily difficult.

We can just give thanks. When we get the best things in life, whether we get older, get a position, or get the best blessings from God, surely we will be quick to give thanks.

But can we give thanks when we think we are experiencing difficult things, whether it's problems, struggles in life, experiencing illness or unpleasant things?

The Word of God today greets us to give thanks in various ways, of course when we hear the expression of various meaningful things in it, both difficult and happy, both joy and sorrow.

 Why do we need to give thanks?

 Because giving thanks is God's will, God wants us as children of God to be able to give thanks in everything.

 When we give thanks, we are doing God's will.

No matter how heavy the problem we struggle, there is always something to be grateful for.

 Good or bad things, success or failure, sickness or health, in abundance or lack, joy or sorrow, are the colors in human life, keep praying and relying on God. because one thing that should strengthen us is that "God causes all things to work together for good," (Romans 8:28), so keep on giving thanks no matter what the circumstances.
