giving thanks

Always in all things unto God our Father, Eph.5:20

The request to give thanks in all things not only is praiseworthy but is also the will of God, 1Thes. 5:18, and for good reason. Not only is God deserving of our praise but giving thanks guards our hearts from jealousy, bitterness, hopelessness, envy, competition, depression and more. It is a healthy habit. I can think of five large categories of things for which we can give God our thanks.

  1. We can and should give thanks for God for who He is.
    Thank God for God!
  2. We should give thanks for what God has done for us.
  3. We should thank God for His perfect will in Christ Jesus.
  4. We should always give thanks to God for what He will do in answer to prayer.
  5. We should give thanks to God for one another as He has given us to each other.
