Key Verse
“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20).
Text — Ephesians 5:19-21
Message
“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue but also the parent of all other virtues,” says Cicero. The servants that broke different bad news to Job, one after the other, must have expected him to break down in tears and become emotionally unstable. Surprisingly, Job fell to the ground and worshipped. He blessed the name of the Lord. He praised God even at a bad time. Give thanks always, not just when things are rosy, but also at the time of disappointments, difficulties, delays, deprivation, and death of loved ones. Our thankfulness should not be done only on special occasions, church or during morning devotions.
Give thanks—do not hold it back or keep it just within your heart. It is an activity God commands us to do, which we must do well—wholeheartedly and willingly. Set time apart to thank God in songs, worship, and praises. The list of things we should praise Him for is endless—His greatness, grace, goodness, gifts, guidance, etc. Do not take things for granted. The Lord wants to hear your voice of thanksgiving every time and everywhere.

You are welcome.
DeleteThis is such a beautiful message Melody! I completely agree with you and I could certainly be better about this. I do try to remain thankful each and every day for all that I have because it's only because of Him, and He is so good, even when we are facing storms in our life that we don't really understand.
