Give Thanks in All Circumstances?

Dave Dorr:

Thankfulness isn’t a command after things go well, but constant reminder that God is running our life and circumstances for our good.

But we disobey this command with regularity. Why? Because we want to be God’s hired workers, not children at Christmas time. We want a certain return for time invested. But God isn’t looking for hired workers. He is looking for people whose lives who have acknowledged that all of life is a gift and every circumstance will work out for good, because it is all coming from God.

And imagine the life that RECEIVES everything with thankfulness. That person would be incredibly secure in this world, not anxiously working, hoping that life will work out. They will find every grace in even the hardest circumstance, knowing that thankfulness IS the resource to a life that overcomes.
