Sunday Reflections

Sing... to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything.
Ephesians 5:19-20

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching we think of giving thanks for our many blessings. It is good to be thankful at Thanksgiving but we should be thankful all of the time.

No matter what the source of the evil confronting you, if you are in God and completely surrounded by Him,  realize that it has passed through Him before coming to you. Because of this, you can thank Him for everything that comes your way. This does not mean thanking Him for the sin that accompanies evil, but offering thanks for what he will bring out of it and through it. May God make our life one of continual thanksgiving and praise, so He will then make everything a blessing.

    It is a comfort to know God works all things out for good. I also take comfort in the verse that tells us we give thanks in all circumstances...not for them....because we know that He is with us in the middle of every trial. Thank you for such a thoughtful post.

    Amen! Thanksgiving and praise is what God desires to hear from His children.

    Psalm 116:17 (King James Version)
    I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
