give in every season good or bad rich or poor happy or sad because it is the will of GOD concerning you
John Radcliffe's comment on 2013-05-21 16:01:11:
In giving thanks, we remind ourselves that God is in control and that he has a purpose in whatever circumstance we find ourselves. Knowing that He has a purpose, we are reminded to seek His purpose and our place in within it. Giving thanks is the first step in yielding to the will of God.
