Gel clings on a window no longer generate much interest for my son, who is now eighteen. I still put them up. They provide a daily reminder that I need to thank God in ALL circumstances.

Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”. This assures us that God uses every trial and difficult circumstance that we encounter for His good purpose.

We can have the contentment that Paul describes in Philippians 4:11 when we’re able to praise God as we move through the storms of our lives.

If you feel that the circumstances of your life are so bad that you aren’t sure how to thank God, then simply praise Him for who He is – our Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer, Healer, Counselor & Loving Father.

Thank Him daily for all that He has done and is doing for you.

You might even discover how He could be using your trials for your good! 

Up for talking about it?
