1 Thessalonians 5:18 PEV Always thank God, no matter what happens to you. You see, you belong to Jesus Christ, so God wants you to do those things.

Some people let situations steal their thankfulness. They could have been recently divorced, laid off a job, struggling financially, or their children are misbehaving. One may think they’re exempt from being thankful. They’re not. We can always find a reason to be thankful. Certain situations make thankfulness difficult to find, but it’s possible.

If a person got a divorce, they can be thankful there won’t be any arguments in front of the children. Got laid off? Be thankful God promised to supply all our needs and we’ve developed some work experience (Phil. 4:19). If you’re struggling financially, be thankful for the wisdom and discipline to budget the little finances you have. Be thankful your financial struggles won’t last forever. If your child is misbehaving, be thankful you have a child.

There will always be a reason to thank God. We just have to put our emotions aside and give God thanks for what He’s done.
