Thanking God for Everything

God desires for us to do His will, and as our spiritual knowledge increases, that desire will increase as well.

In our daily lives, it is easy to be thankful for the times that give us pleasure. However, it is never easy to give thanks when we are experiencing pain or suffering, or disappointment or any kind whatsoever.

The apostle Paul tells us that we are to give thanks in everything, not just once, but twice. Once is I Thess. 5:18 and once in Eph. 5:20. So, as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, let us try to do the will of God, which is to thank God for everything.
