In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, the Apostle Paul wrote, "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." The call to "give thanks" is repeated in over 30 instances within the book of Psalms. 1 Chronicles, Philippians, Colossians, Hebrews, Isaiah, and Ephesians, to name a few, cry out the need to express thanks to our God. It's a clear call. It seems easy enough to live out, right? And yet, I can't help but wonder: how easy is it, really, to "give thanks in all circumstances"? Because I've come to find it's far easier to be ungrateful.
