I just Have to say "Thank You Lord"

In the bible we read in the book of Thessalonians 5:18
This verse that says:
"In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

Look at this verse it tells us to give thanks in all things, not for all things.
When you are faced with tragedy or temptation strikes, we are not to thank God for them. He is not the author.
He's the One who provides our way out from escape, the bible says. And that's what we are to thank Him for.

In the New Testament you will read that Jesus never gave thanks for sickness or death. Instead, when He came upon them, His first response was to overcome them by God's power.
So give thanks as Jesus gave thanks--not for Satan's activities but for the victory God has given you over them.

Regardless of your situation that you are facing today.. It may be a loss of a loved one, or a bad Dr.'s report,or not knowing where your heading at this time in your life. God is in control and He will continue to guide you.
I know it's not the easiest thing to do right now to give Him thanks for the seasons that you are going through.
But do it by faith.

Give thanks with a GRATEFUL Heart for what you have and what you will have in the future.
It's always a choice uh? :)
MAKE IT A GOOD DAY!
