Give Thanks in All Circumstances

(Psalm 42:1-6a; 1Thessalonians 5:13b-24)

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:13b-24)

It sounds so unnatural to give thanks in “all” circumstances.  It seems hard for us to give true thanks even in “some” circumstances since we are inclined to take them for granted.  Then how could we possibly give thanks in all circumstances?  And why should we do that?  This just doesn’t make sense at all to us, especially when unwanted things happen in our lives.  When my tears have been my food day and night and other people say to me continually, “Where is your God?” how could giving thanks to God make sense?  Why is it the will of God in Christ Jesus for us?  What is the role of the community of faith?

Come and join us in our Jonesville UMC in-person service at 9:30 am on Sunday or meet us in the streaming service at Jonesvilleumc.org at the same time.

Blessings,                                                                                                                                                                                                  Pastor Youngjae
