1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks! This is God’s will for us – give thanks in everything. We have so much to be thankful for. Even, in what might seem to be terrible circumstances, we are told to give thanks in everything. What are you looking at? Where is your focus? Remember God. Do not forget who He is. Do not forget all His benefits. Remember all He has done, praise Him, and give thanks.
Deuteronomy 8:7-18 They were warned. “Beware” that you do not forget.
Romans 1:20-22 They did not honor God or give thanks. Their foolish heart
was darkened.
