Paul was not teaching that we should thank God for everything that happens to us, but in everything. Evil does not come from God, so we should not thank him for it. But when evil strikes, we can still be thankful for God’s presence and for the good that he will accomplish through the distress.--- Life Application Study Bible notesPRAYERDear Heavenly Father,May I feed on Your Word with thanksgiving every day.Thank You that despite the turmoil, the world is in, You are still in control.I pray that I may stay alert and awake recounting my blessings. May I grow in deep appreciation for all that You have done for me.Give me a humble and ever grateful heart in all circumstances.May I devote my life to do Your will.In Jesus’ nameAmen
