“This Is The Message We Have Heard From Him And Declare To You: God Is Light, And There Is Absolutely

“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Paul was writing to the Thessalonians, who were suffering and going through difficult circumstances. Yet, he told them to give thanks! In the midst of troubled seas, we can give thanks, because God's word says, “Weeping may remain for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5).

And, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4).

Thank God that when others reject us, Jesus accepts us gladly, and never forsakes us. In all things there will be something for which we can praise and thank God for. When we can’t praise Him for what He has allowed in our lives, we can praise Him for who He is. Jesus will never fail us, therefore, give thanks!

"Радоуисѧ,Невѣсто Неневѣстнаꙗ"

Icon of the Virgin Mary “Tenderness” (19th-20th century)

29 Fire and hail and famine and pestilence, all these have been created for vengeance;

30 the fangs of wild animals and scorpions and vipers, and the sword that punishes the ungodly with destruction.

31 They take delight in doing His bidding, always ready for his service on earth; and when their time comes they never disobey His command.

32 So from the beginning I have been convinced of all this and have thought it out and left it in writing.

33 All the works of the Lord are good, and He will supply every need in its time.

34 No one can say, ‘This is not as good as that’, for everything proves good in its appointed time.

35 So now sing praise with all your heart and voice, and bless the name of the Lord.

Sirach 39:29-35, NRSVACE
