Give thanks for everything... or in everything? By Josh Blakley Friends, "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." I Thessalonians 5:18. Let me throw something at you that might be a little different than how you would normally interpret this scripture. Look at the first word. "In", not "for"! "In everything....." God is leading us to give thanks "in" everything, not "for" everything. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't be thankful for things, not saying that at all. The year 2020 has been full of difficulties to say the least. Most all of us find ourselves "in" the middle of all the craziness. What the scripture is trying to tell us is to be thankful "in" the mist of those crazy difficulties. Do not let problems, failures, losses, political unrest, sickness, and disappointments hurt us from still be thankful to him! During the dark times God wants our focus and faith "in" him to be strong, rather than our focus being on our circumstances. No matter the circumstances you are facing, continue to be thankful! We are in a great community and we are surrounded by great people. May my Columbia Magazine friends have a Happy Thanksgiving! --Josh This story was posted on 2020-11-26 07:53:43
