In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Someone once asked; “is it the will of God for believers to go through testing and trials?” Many people like this person have asked this question due to misinterpretation of the scripture. Those adverse circumstances are not the will of God but thanksgiving that you give is. It’s very interesting to know that thanks and grace go together; in the new testament another translation of grace is thanks.

The word “give thanks” is the Greek word “eucharisteo” which means to be grateful or to be thankful. The word translated thanksgiving includes the word ‘charis’ which means grace. In Matthew 15:36, Jesus took the lunch of a little boy and gave thanks (eucharisteo) and it multiplied and fed 4,000 men not counting women and children. What are you going through beloved? Do you want to receive the grace required? Then you have to give thanks.

Eucharisteo is in the present imperative active tense; which means it has to be done always. So beloved, release the grace required to change every situation in your life by giving thanks to God always. There is grace in thanksgiving.

Prayer: I thank You my Father in all circumstances. My heart is full of thanksgiving.
