In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Notice that this scripture instructs us to give thanks in all things, not for all things. When tragedy or temptation strikes, we are not to thank God for them. He is not their author. Hes the One who provides our way of escape from them. And thats what were to thank Him for. If you read the four Gospels, youll find that Jesus never gave thanks for sickness or death. Instead, when He encountered them, His response was to overcome them by Gods power. So give thanks as Jesus gave thanks--not for Satans activities but for the victory God has given you over them. Scripture Reading: John 11:1-48
