Morning with Ebenezer

GIVE THANKS

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV

It is easy to give thanks to God in the time abundance and prosperity. But it may be very difficult to give thanks in the time of lack and need. The Bible teaches us to give thanks in all circumstances, this means in all seasons of life whether good or bad.

It is easy to give thanks to God when people praise you and say good things about you. But the question comes, will you do the same when people criticize you and say hurtful things to you? It is easy to give thanks to God in the day of your weeding; but will you do the same when you undergo divorce?

It is easy to give thanks when the Lord has blessed you with a child; but will you do the same if the Lord will take that child away from you one day? It is easy to give thanks to God the day you get a good paid job; but will you do the same the day you will be fired from that job? It is easy to give thanks to God when you get in a new relationship but will you do the same in the day of your breakup?

This morning, I just want to remind you to give thanks to God for all things in your life. Give thanks for the people who once were your friends and now are no longer in your life. Thanks Him because He gave you a chance to know them and share with them this gift of life. Praise Him for everyone who is still in your life knowing that there is a purpose for that person to be in your life in the time like this.

Give thanks for answered and unanswered prayers. Give thanks for the things which came on time and for those which delayed. Give thanks for your loved ones who are no longer with you in this life know that one day you will see them again in the kingdom of our Heavenly Father if they lived according to His will. Give thanks for your salvation while you continue being faithful before the Lord of all the earth.

****Morning Prayer****

Pray this prayer with me by faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

Dear Heavenly, I just want to take this moment to say thank You for all things in my life. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
