‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:16‭-‬18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

[16] Rejoice always, [17] pray continually, [18] give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

We can give thanks in all circumstances:

1. Because of who God is. ( Psalm 106:1)

2. Because of what God has done. (James 1:17)

3. Because in God we have a hope and a future. ( 1 Peter 1:6)

4. Because God can use difficulties to bless us. (Romans 8:28)

5. Because God gives us the strength to do so.(Mark 14:38; Habakkuk 3:19)
