    Many people view Paul's advice in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 as unrealistic and even annoying advice. But he was not naive. He showed us three reasons why we should do it.

    Let's read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The phrase “in all circumstances” means in everything or in all situation. That means when we are sick, face difficulties, fail, or lose someone we love, we are told to give ...read more

    As we go through the challenges of life our strength and courage to face them comes from God. On our part we are called to be strong and courageous to carry out the responsibilities God has entrusted to us, to live in obedience to God’s word knowing that God will never leave us or forsake us.
